Another great photo exhibition organized by the National Geographic Italy Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome from February 12 to May 1, which this year focuses on "The Colors of the World." The
ninety-five images, new to the magazine and great visual and emotional impact, are in fact declined in four colors. Red, the color of earth, fire, communities, customs and traditions, women, children and men. It 's the color of the heart, blood, passion. Green: The green world in all its expressions, the color green as of today and tomorrow, the green of hope. It 's the color of nature, vegetation, existence itself.
White: the immaculate of the places affected by global warming, animals at risk for survival, innocence, purity. Blue: The color of the water and sky, seas and its "inhabitants" of joy and peace to exist.
Four colors to describe, suggestions and contrasts between the present and the future of the world, the strength and the weakness of nature and animals, humility, pride, sorrow and happiness of human beings.
A fascinating photographic journey made with the photos of the greatest photographers who work and collaborate with the magazine internationally and nationally.
"The exhibition comes from the desire to illustrate how the National Geographic photographers have managed, and able to interpret life on our planet, making the colors stand out," says William Pepper, curator and writer for National Geographic Italy.

But we also see the earth in its uniqueness, people in happy times, the other species in their great diversity, nature and her extraordinary beauty. "
