Abstract

The intervention describes the events of a part of the Igino Benevento Supino photographic library, which followed a different path and was reunited only in 2006 with the fund now conserved at the Department of Arts of the University of Bologna.

In 1990 about 3000 photographs, preserved in the Department of Visual Arts, was transferred to the then historical archive to allow reorganization, protection and enhancement.

After several attempts to reorganize, in 1992 the original arrangement by subject has now been lost and was chosen one for geographical areas, then maintained for consistency.

All items are digitized in high definition, the scan also affects the mountings on which are affixed the numerous albumines: in addition to the undoubted value of the images some photographs show the stamp of Nerino Ferri, others report a note in english, probably a collector expert.

At the same time, an initial catalog is made in SEBINA and the low-definition publication on the site of the Historical Archives of the University of Bologna.

In 2006 the collection is reunited with the most full-bodied nucleus still preserved in the Department of Arts.
