«Non è vero ma ci credo. Immagini, simulacri, inganni» is the essay by Paolo Pillitteri (Spirali, paperback, 420 pages, Italian).
A journey through the history of cinema and photography via cases of historical falsification: staged photographs that supplant reality, cinema as propaganda for Lenin, Stalin and Mussolini, and enigmas such as Al Qaeda videos, the photo of Neda or the Shroud of Turin. A reflection on the image as a substitute for truth.
Work number 325 in Spirali's L'alingua collection; the cover indicates it includes a tribute to Luca Comerio, a cinema pioneer. Published in 2009.
For readers interested in the history of cinema, photography, propaganda and image manipulation.
