Italy's leading news agency ANSA
is presenting its popular annual photo-book, Photoansa2017, in
Rome on Wednesday.
The book uses a series of stunning images to bring to life
the events, personalities and emotions of the year, with US
President Donald Trump, the Rigapiano avalanche, and Francesco
Totti's goodbye to football among the many subjects addressed.
Interior Minister Marco Minniti, British Ambassador to Italy
Jill Morris, Tooteko CEO Serena Ruffato and a delegation of
firefighters who took part in the Rigapiano rescue effort will
take part in Wednesday's presentation at Rome's Aula Ottagona.
The presentation by ANSA President Giulio Anselmi, CEO
Giuseppe Cerbone and Editor-in-Chief Luigi Contu will be shown
live via streaming on the ANSA.it website and via the agency's
Facebook page.
Another presentation in Milan on December 11 will feature
Beppe Severgnini of the Corriere della Sera newspaper, WWF
Italia President Donatella Bianchi, art critic Philippe Daverio
and UNICEF Italia spokesperson Andrea Iacomini.
"The primary achievement of the 13th ANSA photo book is that
of portraying moments of our time, with all their pathos, in
order to preserve the events, maintaining their identity between
news and story, and to prevent the most frequently seen images
of our daily existence, the result of attacks or natural
disasters, from becoming a monotonous flow of ruin and despair,"
writes Anselmi in the preface to the book.
