For the most part, he worked in Modena, traveling only occasionally to places as far afield as the beaches of Rimini on the Adriatic or the Swiss lakes. He began to sketch out ideas and themes—some specifically grouped around a subject, others around a more poetic organizing principle.
One of the latter was *colazione sull’Erba* (Breakfast on the Grass), in which he focused on the intersection of nature and artifice within the man-made environment; the symmetries of cypress trees, manicured lawns, the personal touch of potted plants, and palm trees and cacti with their promise of faraway places. Based on Kodachrome, this seminal album by Luigi Ghirri, which he self-published in 1978, is the first book in a planned series that contains the original themes Luigi Ghirri would use as the basis for a collection elaborating on his work; texts by Massimo Mussini and Roberto Salbitani with an essay by Francesco Zanot, color photographs.
