The Marino Parisotto Archive was established to preserve, enhance and make accessible the visual heritage of one of the most significant Italian photographers of the 1990s and 2000s.
Marino Parisotto (1962–2022) spent thirty years building a body of work that defines an era: the moment when Italian fashion photography reached its international apex.
The Archive holds approximately 200,000 items: vintage prints, negatives, positives, contact sheets, original publications and production materials. A museum-scale corpus documenting thirty years of work with consistency and rigour, from the early campaigns of the 1980s through to his final productions.
How the Archive works
Every work authorised by the Archive is identified by two elements that guarantee its authenticity: the official seal of the Archivio Marino Parisotto and the signature of Sofia Parisotto, heir and custodian of the artistic legacy. These are not bureaucratic formalities — they are the chain of custody that transforms a print into a collectable work of art, with certified history and provenance.
Prints are produced in a limited edition of 9 copies + 2 Artist’s Proofs, on Photo RAG 308 fine art cotton paper, in formats 30×40 and 40×60 cm. Each edition includes a stamped and signed certificate of authenticity.
