In the summer of 1962, architecture student Andrea Branzi visited his brother in Moscow, then a correspondent for RAI. Amid the Cold War’s tension and Khrushchev’s brief “thaw,” Branzi explored the Soviet capital with the keen eye of a young observer. His photographs capture a city of immense scale and striking contrasts - military parades and playful children, monumental architecture and quiet parks, ideology and innocence. Through these images, a vivid portrait emerges of a society both distant and strangely familiar, hinting at the curiosity and utopian imagination that would later define Branzi’s work as a designer and thinker. The photographic reportage is accompanied by texts by Gian Piero Piretto and Angela Rui.
