La collezione Recanatesi della fototeca dell’associazione Macula

This section brings together the files of some of the most important Italian archives where valuable documentation on theatre photography is preserved: indispensable places for research, repositories of a precious collective memory. The detailed description of the fonds and archives of these institutions should remind us how important it is to continue to preserve, protect and promote the object of photography, which is often neglected and not 'treated', i.e. protected and catalogued, as it should be for the benefit of the History of the Performing Arts and studies on the art of photography. Keywords: Photography, Italian archives, Iconography, Theatre, Actors.
