Jacopo
Salvi
Jacopo Salvi is an Italian photographer, video maker, and multidisciplinary creator, working in Italy and abroad. He has been one of the official photographers for the Venice Biennale since 2016, covering visual and social media communication for the Art, Architecture, and Cinema Biennale.
Specializing in capturing the essence of art exhibitions, Jacopo has collaborated with distinguished institutions and museums, including the Gagosian, MART, and MAG.
He has a keen interest in storytelling through reportage, with a particular emphasis on wine and food. This has led to collaborations such as photographing the finest European wineries in partnership with author Chandra Kurt for the Weinseller Journal, along with projects involving renowned restaurants and chefs.
His photos have been featured in magazines and publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, The Times, Artribune, Assouline, Condenast, the Art Newspaper, and Domus.
