The full analysis of all 400 series from the Luigi Ciminaghi collection allowed for a wide-ranging study of the photographer’s output and creativity, as well as of the individual shows or events.

This approach shed new light on the processes involved in creating and selecting stage photographs thanks to the many marks made by Luigi Ciminaghi on contact sheets and other notes written on the original containers.

The process was carried out by CAeB (Cooperativa Archivistica e Bibliotecaria di Milano) in collaboration with our own historical archive. The photographic series was described in accordance with the guidelines of the ICCD (Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione) via the completion of the “F” datasheet on the SIRBeCWeb portal.
