Over 400 photographs from the Rita and Riccardo Marone Collection explore the world of work in all its forms, offering a compelling visual journey through the social history of the twentieth century and the enduring human dignity of labour.


The book brings together more than 400 photographs exploring the many faces of work through the eyes of some of the most significant photographers of the twentieth century. Drawn from the remarkable collection of Rita and Riccardo Marone, the volume is both a visual archive and a personal testimony to the passion of collecting, where artistic quality and emotional engagement meet.

Spanning the second half of the twentieth century, the photographs document agricultural labour, factory work, craftsmanship, office life, fishing, education, domestic work, child labour, mining, commerce and industrial production, as well as unemployment, migration and social protest. Featuring works by renowned photographers alongside powerful documentary images, the book offers an extraordinary visual narrative of work as a universal human experience and a fundamental expression of social history.
