In the exhibition at Palazzo Mediceo are exposed most of the reports made by him, a unique opportunity to understand his being photographer, his sensitivity and his synthesis in documenting a conflict or confrontation between people: in his shots Cito also helps us understand what is happening in some parts of the world; through the merits of his telling and get involved from the photographs taken at the Palio di Siena or in Sardinia in the lesser known places to careless travellers, who are more prone to the stereotype postcard. Ferdinando Scianna describes Francesco Cito as one of the best italian photojournalists, for the instinct of the fact, the passion of the story, the ability to synthesize and rigor of view.
