Published in Milan in 1991,Giro d'Italia is a celebrated homoerotic photobook by Italian photographer Tony Patrioli, capturing young men across various regions of Italy.
Renowned for his classic approach to male nude and figurative portraiture throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Patrioli takes the reader on a visual journey through sun-drenched Italian countryside, coastal beaches, and ancient ruins. The photographs blend classical aesthetic sensibilities with the relaxed, candid spirit of Italian summer subculture, placing his subjects within traditional landscapes and architecture.
A sought-after volume for collectors of 20th-century male figurative photography, queer visual history, and Italian erotic photobooks.
