April is also drawing to a close, spring is in full swing and temperatures are becoming summer-like.

And, as always, our guide is here to help.

To Discover - HELMUT NEWTON. LEGACY

Palazzo Reale is hosting a comprehensive retrospective HELMUT NEWTON. LEGACY which was planned to mark the 100th anniversary of the photographer's birth but was postponed due to the pandemic.

Alongside the iconic images will be a corpus of previously unseen shots, presented for the first time in Italy, with a focus on the most unconventional fashion shoots.
