Capri, 1981
Throughout the 1980s, Ghirri travelled around Italy, sometimes working for tourist boards and the Touring Club Italiano, a nonprofit that helps travellers discover Italy. In this period, his switch to a medium-format camera brought more depth and clarity, as well as brighter colours, to his photographs, though he continued to frame his views in the same calm, measured way. Destined for a broad audience, these commissions see Ghirri exploring stereotypical views as well as more unusual images
