Abstract
From about 1850 Florence was the centre for chemists and photographers
exploring the new medium of photography. The 'Società Fotografica Toscana' was
founded in Florence under the directorship of Pietro Semplicini, who received a
commission to photograph award-winning animals at the agrarian exhibition of
1857. Thanks to the new collodium technique, it was possible to make sharp
photographs of the animals, and to take snapshots. The Semplicini-album is one
of the first examples of realism in the history of Italian photography.
