About
Nicola Morandini has always been dedicated to exploring the territory, discovering the beauty and uniqueness of the ordinary.
He develops photographic projects with a preference for medium format analogue, often imposing voluntary spatial and temporal limitations on himself in search of synthesis and essentiality.

“We should always answer to the invitation of the maps, believe in their promises, cross the country and stay for a few minutes at the border of the territory to close inauspicious chapter”.
Sylvain Tesson, On the Wandering Paths, 2018“Dovremmo sempre rispondere all’invito delle carte, credere alle loro promesse, traversare il paese e sostare qualche minuto al confine del territorio per chiudere i capitoli infausti.”
Sylvain Tesson, Sentieri neri, 2018„Man sollte immer der Einladung der Karten folgen, an ihre Verheißungen glauben, das Land durchqueren und an der Grenze verweilen, um ein unheilvolles Kapitel zu schließen.“
Sylvain Tesson, Sur les chemins noirs, 2018 P6
Sudtirolo Mon Amour
South Tyrol - Italy
work in progress
Sudtirolo Mon Amour is an ongoing photographic project that began in 2015 as a three-voiced dialogue between Andrea Salvà, Christian Martinelli, and Nicola Morandini. Friends and fellow photographers, they explore the province where they live through distinct yet complementary approaches, building a collective narrative that reflects the complexity of South Tyrol.
Inspired by the spirit of “Viaggio in Italia” by Luigi Ghirri and the photographers who shared that vision, the project unfolds as a slow, open-ended journey, observing everyday life without spectacle but with a precise attention to the traces and nuances of a human-shaped landscape.
Nicola Morandini’s gaze highlights a territory marked by contrasts and frequent contradictions, where tradition and transformation coexist in a delicate equilibrium.
Sudtirolo Mon Amour is therefore a shared journey—a growing archive that depicts the shifting identity of a territory through the multiplicity of its viewpoints.
Sudtirolo Mon Amour
Alto Adige - Italia
work in progress
Sudtirolo Mon Amour è un progetto fotografico in continua evoluzione, nato nel 2015 come dialogo a tre voci tra Andrea Salvà, Christian Martinelli e Nicola Morandini. I tre fotografi, amici e compagni di sguardo, esplorano la provincia in cui vivono attraverso approcci differenti ma complementari, costruendo un racconto corale che restituisce la complessità del territorio altoatesino.
Ispirato allo spirito di “Viaggio in Italia” di Luigi Ghirri e degli autori che ne hanno condiviso la poetica, il progetto si propone come un percorso lento, aperto, capace di osservare la quotidianità senza enfasi, ma con un’attenzione rigorosa ai segni e alle sfumature del paesaggio antropizzato.
La visione di Nicola Morandini mette in luce un luogo ricco di contrasti e spesso di contraddizioni, dove tradizione e trasformazione convivono in un equilibrio fragile.
Sudtirolo Mon Amour è dunque un viaggio condiviso, un archivio in divenire che restituisce l’identità mutevole di un territorio attraverso la pluralità dei punti di vista.
Sudtirolo Mon Amour
Südtitol - Italien
work in progress
Südtirol Mon Amour ist ein fotografisches Projekt im stetigen Wandel, das 2015 als dreistimmiger Dialog zwischen Andrea Salvà, Christian Martinelli und Nicola Morandini entstand. Die drei Fotografen, Freunde und Weggefährten des Blicks, erkunden die Provinz, in der sie leben, durch unterschiedliche, jedoch komplementäre Ansätze und schaffen so eine vielstimmige Erzählung, die die Komplexität des Südtiroler Territoriums widerspiegelt.
Inspiriert von Luigi Ghirris „Viaggio in Italia“ folgt das Projekt einem langsamen, offenen Blick auf die alltägliche, vom Menschen geprägte Landschaft, mit besonderer Aufmerksamkeit für ihre Zeichen, Brüche und Nuancen.
Die Perspektive von Nicola Morandini hebt einen Ort voller Kontraste und oft auch Widersprüche hervor, in dem Tradition und Wandel in einem fragilen Gleichgewicht koexistieren.
Als offenes Archiv angelegt, versteht sich Südtirol Mon Amour als kollektive Untersuchung eines Territoriums im Übergang.
