Alessandro PIREDDA: Italian Photographer Specializing in Historical Architecture

Alessandro PIREDDA (1974-) is an Italian photographer based in Misano Adriatico, near Rimini. In Ravenna, he studied fine arts and developed a profound interest and understanding of architecture and photography. His series Darkitectures provides a platform for integrating these two passions. By dedicating his photographs to historical Italian monuments, he offers a meditation on the relationship between time and civilization. The artistic treatment used during the shoots should be understood in this light.

Alessandro PIREDDA employs long exposure times (about 10 seconds), allowing him to manipulate the light during the photo development process. The lighting can resemble the glow of a candle, imbuing the scenes with a tragic sense and a mysterious atmosphere.
