Come along to Hindmarsh Library, 139 Port Road, Hindmarsh, on Saturday, 23 November 2024, starting from 1 pm to 3 pm, and hear the story behind this photographic exhibition by John Callisto, Live and Love the Italian Way.

This exhibition includes unique photographs by John Callisto who passed away unexpectedly in 2022 at the age of 53. This exhibition champions John’s passion for photography which commenced at the age of 16 when his parents bought him his first Pentax professional film camera. It also celebrates John’s love of Italian heritage, culture and people and highlights some of his work taken in Puglia during his photography educational trip, as well as during other holidays to Italy, and at home in Adelaide.

John was the third child of Italian immigrant parents from Molinara (Provincia di Benevento, Campania). John was born and lived his entire life in Adelaide and was a proud son, husband, father, brother, cousin and great friend to many within his local community and beyond.

When people pass away you usually remember the person that they were, their passions in life and how they made you feel. It is hoped that when people remember John and his photography, they smile and see the Italian beauty and the heart and soul of people he saw through the end of his camera lens.

The photography exhibition is curated by his wife,Claudia Callisto. Book here to join this FREE community event open for public.
