Two photographic research projects commissioned by the Museo Civico (City Museum) of Reggio Emilia.

"La nuova casa" (The new house), a project by Paola De Pietri proposes a research on the relation between man and space.
The object of the research - developed throughout 2005 - is the contemporary transformation of the city and its landscape focusing on its peculiar anthropological aspects by analysing in particular its inhabitants' ways of living.
About 30 pictures which represent Reggio Emilia, its landscape and its people with different cultural backgrounds.
Clear is the interest for the sentiment of home, considering the wide meaning of the word. The home as a place where to recognise oneself or where to find shelter. The home which can be found in a corner of the city or in the country-side which becomes part of one's own life and is therefore also characterised by it.

Miro Zagnoli's project is an exhibition of photographic works realized in a research commissioned by Musei Civici during the initiative "Invito a: Luciano Fabro, Sol Lewitt, Eliseo Mattiacci, Robert Morris, Richard Serra".
It is structured in two sections: Robert Morris and his work in Chiostri di San Domenico in Reggio Emilia and Luciano Fabro and his work "L'Araba fenice" at the University at the Antico Foro Boario.
