ANSA's annual photo book, PhotoAnsa
2023, gives sense to the year that has passed, the president of
Italy's top news agency, Giulio Anselmi, said at its
presentation at Rome's MAXXI art museum Monday.
"This (event presenting) ANSA's photo book is a ritual for us,
which we have become very proud of," he said.
"The book seeks to lean meaning to the past year, by choosing
the events that have marked it," he said.
"This year, too, we have put together many items of a varying
flavour. A paper book seems something old, old-fashioned, but we
believe that it is very effective.
"In physics and economics we speak of the flight of the bumble
bee to refer to an insect that isn't supposed to fly because of
its size, and yet flies.
"Our book is something like that.
"A book with great photos, which are an enlargement of things
that happened, and strike with their immediate effectiveness."
Anselmi recalled that the year that has gone by "has been a
tragic year, full of pain starting with two wars" and that "the
pleasant things that happened are sadly quite few", but
nonetheless the book intends to give a complete picture because
"life goes on and people want it to go on".
Premier Giorgia Meloni took part in the presentation via
videolink, and energy giant Enel is a partner.
Among those present were the president of the Italian tennis
federation, Angelo Binaghi, Professor Vittorio Emanuele Parsi,
international relations lecturer at Milan's Cattolica University
and essayist, and the actress Romana Maggiora Vergano, who in
Paola Cortellesi's hit period domestic violence drama 'C'è
ancora domani' (There's Still Tomorrow) plays the protagonist's
daughter.
