Riccardo Ricci was an headmaster, an amateur photographer and a keen observer of Ravenna. His photographic collection consists of approximately 800 photographs taken in the 1970s, arranged across 12 albums, that he personally created.
These albums capture the monuments of Ravenna with remarkable richness of detail: from the Byzantine churches to the Classense Library, from the city squares to lesser-known religious and civic buildings. Of particular interest in the contemporary history of the city are the photographs documenting its industrial development, offering us striking images of a Ravenna transformed by intense social and economic
changes.
