이탈리아의 Carlotta di Lenardo 조부모님 집 꼭대기에는 도서관이 있는 방이 있다. 책장 사이에 숨겨진 문이 비밀 다락방으로 열리게 되며, 다락방은 그녀의 할아버지가 평생 동안 짓고 덧붙인 거대한 모형 철도가 있는 큰 방이다. 그녀와의 관계에도 큰 의미가 있었지만, 어느 날 그는 가족 점심식사 중에 그의 또 다른 비밀스럽지 않은 열정인 사진에 대한 지속적인 사랑을 그녀에게 공개했고, 반세기 이상의 삶을 생생하게 담아낸 그의 8,000장 이상의 사진 아카이브를 그녀와 공유했다. 그의 생애에 알려지지 않은 알베르토 디 레나르도(Alberto di Lenardo)의 작업은 이탈리아, 미국, 브라질, 모로코, 그리스 등지에서 만들어진 작품들로 루이지 기리(Luigi Ghirri)와 같은 이탈리아의 가장 사랑 받는 사진작가의 전조가 되었다. '열차로 가득 찬 다락방(An Attic Full of Trains)'은 우리에게 20세기 삶의 즐거운 단면을 보여준다.

At the top of Carlotta di Lenardo grandparents’ house in Italy there is a room which houses the library. A hidden door amongst the bookshelves opens into a secret attic, a large room dominated by an enormous model railway, which her grandfather built and added to throughout his life. Significant though it was for her relationship with him, one day during a family lunch he revealed her another of his not very secret passions – his enduring love for photography – and shared with her his archive of more than 8,000 photographs: a body of vernacular work capturing over half a century of life in vivid colour. Unknown in his lifetime, Alberto di Lenardo’s work offers a precursor to some of Italy’s best-loved photographers, from Luigi Ghirri to Guido Guidi, with work made across Italy, the USA, Brasil, Morocco, Greece and beyond. In Carlotta’s scrupulous sequencing, An Attic Full of Trains shows us a joyous cross-section of life in the 20th Century: one of beaches and bars, mountains, road trips, lovers and friends.
