Renzo Chiesa was 17 years old when, in 1968 at the Piper Club in Milan, he took his first photograph of Jimi Hendrix. But there is a difference between taking a photograph and creating an image, an image that will last forever. With this in mind, photograph after photograph, he became the greatest music photographer in Italy. RENZO CHIESA / CHIESA RENZO is a documentary that tells us about 50 years of photographs by a master: Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones, B.B. King, the greatest jazz musicians in history, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Nina Simone, and then Joan Baez and folk music, Bob Marley and reggae, Frank Zappa and rock. And then all the protagonists of the history of Italian music: Arbore, Celentano and Mina, Conte, Dalla, De André and Pagani, De Gregori, Guccini, Jannacci, Demetrio Stratos. RENZO CHIESA / CHIESA RENZO is a documentary that tells the story of a time that no longer exists, or a time that is about to be lost, that of the analog photography, film tape, and the darkroom.
