Nicola Mauro Salza and Alessandro Solimani

“Minutera” is a Spanish word, indicating “a time of a few seconds.” An immortalized moment that, in just a few minutes, seems to appear as if from a magical box.

Nicola Mauro Salza and Alessandro Solimani are among the few remaining minute photographers in Italy. They wander through the squares with their miniature dark rooms, carrying on a passion for a profession that seems to have been lost in time, introducing people to the wonder of an ancient photographic art and leaving in the hands of those who desire it, an “instant” immortalized on a piece of wet silver paper.
