The Trophy, named in tribute to Virginio Bruni-Tedeschi, passionate about sailing and the Bay of Cavalière, is open to all for a catamaran competition. Every year, it is an opportunity for old instructors, new ones, apprentice navigators, pros, our loyal partners and spectators to meet for 3 days of navigation, parties and unforgettable moments.
Virginio, born in Turin on September 20, 1960, made daily shots, unfolding a poetic and spontaneous memory of the world around him. His images are today the artistic heritage of the Virginio Bruni Tedeschi Foundation. Taken between 1985 and 2005, they were presented for the first time in Paris in 2008 as part of the exhibition Mondo Uno Virginio Bruni Tedeschi, which brings together 42 black & white photographs and SX70 polaroid series.
A visual universe where travel, freedom and solitude are articulated. Dreamlike and real moments, instinctive and without artifice. Mirror of a personality in search of values and grace.
Mondo Uno is an imagined journey. A combination of feelings beyond time, timeline and the journeys experienced by the photographer. In memory of the poetry of his gaze, we created this other journey.
Two years after the disappearance of Virginio at 46, his wife Isabelle immersed herself in the 3000 photographs taken during her numerous trips from Patagonia to India, passing through Easter Island and Polynesia. This exhibition is accompanied by a book, Mondo Uno Virginio Bruni Tedeschi, conceived and published under the direction of his wife and Karine Chahin. It opens with a text by the photographer Jean-Baptiste Huynh. He evokes a portrait, which the disappearance of Virginio on July 5, 2006, did not allow him to realize. The profits from the sale of books and photographs are always fully donated to the Virginio Bruni Tedeschi Foundation. This one was created in February 2007 in Turin to honor the memory of the artist. This non-profit-making foundation pursues exclusively social solidarity by developing, through its own resources, projects and initiatives at a global level in the fields of education, medicine and research. Currently, following a partnership with UNESCO, the Foundation is involved in four countries in Southern Africa particularly affected by AIDS: Leshoto, Namibia, Angola and Swaziland. The photographic exhibition has become itinerant in order to bring the word to the four corners of the world
