Carnisio is one of the keenest and best-known photographers in Milan, but he portrays the parts of the city that sometimes peep out from certain perspectives, and that modernity struggles to repress. His elegant black-and-white prints bring back the long-ago Milan of the typical case di ringhiera – or railway flats – and courtyards (with photos taken quickly to avoid the surveillance of suspicious concierges), of the old craftsmen’s studios and knife grinders who worked on street corners, of the osterie with bowling clubs, of the suburban cafes and downtown dairy shops.
