An Attic Full of Trains — Alberto di Lenardo / Carlotta di Lenardo (ed.) — MACK — 2024

A private archive becomes an unexpectedly vivid portrait of postwar European life. Selected from thousands of photographs discovered after Alberto di Lenardo’s death, these images follow family holidays, friendships, parties, streets and quiet domestic moments from the 1950s onwards. Di Lenardo photographed obsessively but remained virtually unknown during his lifetime; his granddaughter Carlotta shaped the archive into this intimate sequence. Warm colour and instinctive framing place his work somewhere between family album and street photography, transforming everyday pleasure, travel and passing encounters into something remarkably cinematic.
