Fratelli Riva

Role: photographer

Address: Calalzo, Belluno

Active in the late 19th century, the brothers Giacomo (1818-1912) and Cesare Riva (1829-1913) travelled to Vienna between 1857 and 1859 to learn the new art of photography, specialising: Giacomo in the science of optics and Cesare in retouching. In 1861, they returned to their homeland and opened a photographic studio in Calalzo, which was destroyed by fire in 1912. They immortalised the valleys, events, people, groups and well-known personalities who frequented the mountains in summer, including, for example, Giosuè Carducci, photographed in 1892.
