The Fototeca Regionale holds over 750 photographs of prints and drawings from the 16th to the 20th century in the Raccolta Iconografica Padovana (RIP), kept in the Biblioteca Civica di Padova.
The collection documents portraits of illustrious Paduans and views on architectural and urban themes.
The photographs were taken in 1978; the prints attached to the negatives bear the signature of Giovanni Gorini, director of the Padua Civic Museum from 1978 to 1981.
The photographs have all been digitised and the material can be viewed by consulting the online catalogue.
