Fifty Years at Walking Pace - The Muggio Valley is a photography exhibition by Giovanni Luisoni, hosted at the Casa Rotonda in Corzoneso-Casserio, celebrating 50 years of photographic exploration in the Muggio Valley. The event, organized by the Fondazione Archivio Donetta on the occasion of the Mendrisiotto photographer's 80th birthday, is also the debut of his works outside Mendrisiotto. In parallel, a volume published by Salvioni with more than 100 images of the valley, accompanied by texts by Antonio Mariotti, Mark Bertogliati and Silvio Bindella, is being released.

Luisoni, heir to the tradition of Gino Pedroli, has built an eclectic career, ranging from photojournalism to fine art photography. A master of black and white, he uses traditional analog techniques, as shown by the 32 prints on display, made on silver salt baryta paper. The exhibition and the book offer a profound reflection on the landscape and people of the Muggio Valley, ideally linking it to other Ticino realities such as the Blenio Valley.
