“Featuring around 100 black-and-white and color images, the collection takes in the people, fashion, colors and textures of American street life in the sixties, capturing the mood and undercurrent of this ever-changing country.”

“In his cellar lay a hidden treasure, a foreign and fascinating world in black and white but also in exquisite colour images, hundreds of stories and microstories of the sixties and seventies mostly set in Italy, but also in America.”

“Carnicelli was as fascinated by the country’s diversity, individuality and pursuit of happiness… as he was by the loneliness and rootlessness he observed in its people.”

“The resulting body of work, American Voyage, was recently rediscovered after 50 years and is being published by Reel Art Press for the first time.”

“Influenced by the humanist approach of New Deal photographers such as Dorothea Lange, Carnicelli focused his lens not on the skyscrapers but on what was happening at street level: on commuters, builders, shopkeepers, passersby.”
