The Como Chamber of Commerce hosted the Visioni Parallele – Litoranee Sparse exhibition, a dual visual research on two state roads, the lakeside roads of Lake Como (SS340/SS340dir - photographs by Fabio Tasca) and Lake Maggiore (N13/SS34 - photographs by Giuseppe Chietera).

"Besides their cultural and geographical proximities, the two parallel visions are also joined by a common destiny: both routes border a fragile and captivating region which is never repetitious: the lakeside roads, characterized by the movement of erosion and sedimentation" (G. F. Ragno).

A short text of the former President of the Chamber of Commerce of Como, Paolo De Santis, introduces the catalog dedicated to Visioni parallele - Litoranee Sparse. Following a critic essay by Gian Franco Ragno (photography historian, librarian and publicist).
