Having photographed by choice right in the island, for many years Enzo Sellerio https://palermo.repubblica.it/cronaca/2012/02/22/news/addio_a_enzo_sellerio_editore_e_fotografo_della_storia-30322086/ had been the eye of Sicily, where he died in Palermo on a day in February 2012. In 1955, he made his first reportage – Borgo di Dio – a masterpiece of Italian photographic neorealism. Five years later his creative vein produced the portrait of the city of Palermo, but only two years later, he established himself in the international photographic panorama, with The Countries of Etna.
With his photographs, he gave us the memory of the Belice earthquake, of the men in the square in Gela and of the statue of the Madonna that in Belmonte Mezzagno was carried on the shoulders for the Good Friday procession. Leaving us an artistic and cultural legacy of great intellectual depth, inspired by a writer and an anthropologist, in 1969 Enzo Sellerio founded the publishing house of the same name. One of his monographs with an anthological collection of Sicilian shots (Enzo Sellerio photographer in Sicily) https://www.maremagnum.com/libri-antichi/enzo-sellerio-fotografo-in-sicilia/156978357, could certainly help preserve the memory of this man so creative, together with that of the island he loved so much.
