The Civic Museum of Bassano del Grappa with the collaboration of Magnum Photos, la Casa dei Tre Oci and Manfrotto hosts the exhibition Robert Capa Retrospective on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Magnum Photos. Eliminating the barriers between photographer and subject, Capa’s work tells the suffering, misery, chaos, and cruelty of war. The iconic photos portray five great world wars of the twentieth century, to which Capa was an eyewitness. 

The precious documentary Robert Capa in Love and War (2003), directed by Anne Makepeace introduce the review, with extraordinary archive materials and interviews with family, friends, and colleagues: his brother Cornell Capa, Isabella Rossellini, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Marc Riboud, Elliott Erwin, Richard Whelan, John Morris.
