The essay aims to outline the political and cultural purposes of the first editions (1955-1958) of the “Festival Internazionale del Balletto” in Genova-Nervi, which has been the first Italian festival entirely devoted to dance. To this end, I will analyse the photographic production of the official photographer at the festival, Serge Lido, and I will show how his ideas on dance and his working method can be compared to those of the founder of the festival, Mario Porcile.

Abstract
The essay aims to outline the political and cultural purposes of the first editions (1955-1958) of the “Festival Internazionale del Balletto” in Genova-Nervi, which has been the first Italian festival entirely devoted to dance. To this end, I will analyse the photographic production of the official photographer at the festival, Serge Lido, and I will show how his ideas on dance and his working method can be compared to those of the founder of the festival, Mario Porcile.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
