ALINARI PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVES
The archives are the heart of the Fratelli Alinari firm. It is
here that the immense patrimony of portraits and documentary
material pertaining to the art, history, folklore, landscape,
industry and society of Italy, Europe and the rest of the
world, from the second half of the nineteenth century to the
present, is housed.
Through a series of new color and black/white photographic
campaigns the Archive nucleous has been continuously enriched.
Recently, besides the extraordinary archive holding such Alinari, Anderson, Brogi,
Chauffourier, Fiorentini and Mannelli, some other glass-plate negatives and film from the Wulz,
Michetti, Nunes Vais, Bombelli, Mollino, Betti-Borra, Zannier,
Pozzar, Balocchi, Vannucci-Zauli, Unterveger, Tuminello,
Muzzani, Miniati, Trombetta, Panatta collections and the Villani
archive of Bologna composed of 600,000 images from a
period ranging from 1914 to 1980, have been added. Pictures of works
of art owned by the Italian state are available thanks to the
kind permission of the MINISTRY FOR CULTURAL ASSETS AND
ACTIVITIES. Alinari directly takes care of rights in
conformity with the Ronchey law. The new photographic
campaigns in color continue to enrich an archive that so far
contains over 2,350,000 acquisitions of historical negatives,
on glass plate and film, in varying format, in black and white.
New additions to the photographic fund include 400,000 color
photos, 350,000 other latter-day photographic prints and

by Alinari to 4,000,000.
