Italy’s Legendary Cowboys of the Maremma: Photographs by Gabrielle Saveri
October 8, 2022 – August 6, 2023
The Center of the West hosts the debut presentation of stunning, large-format images of Italy’s legendary horsemen who have worked the land in the Maremma region, just south of Florence, for centuries. This exhibition celebrates a rich Italian tradition and its connections to the American West.
The current project of Gabrielle Saveri, a photographer, writer, and artist based in California’s Napa Valley, I Butteri della Maremma photo series, taken from 2013 – 2019, depict Italy’s “cowboys,” known as the butteri, a group of indigenous cattle breeders and horsemen and women whose origins are said to date back to Etruscan times.
The exhibition opens in the Center of the West’s John Bunker Sands Photography Gallery on October 8, 2022, and remains on exhibit through August 6, 2023.
