Milan 1963/1973

Milan 1963: the economic boom quickens the city's pulse. Carla Cerati records the changes in progress: from the central station, the emigrants disperse to the suburbs. New neighborhoods and new habits appear. Milan becomes the capital of consumption, with its large stores that preach another way of life. But there is also the city that practices the immutable ritual of La Scala, and a new bourgeoisie represented at inaugurations and cocktail parties. Then comes the big political season, with student demonstrations and workers leaving factories to protest. Carla Cerati's photographs then take a more social and political. The burial of Roberto Franceschi in 1973 marks the end of a period of fervor that has become legendary. Carla Cerati was one of them, through her photographs, one of the main witnesses.
