For years tourism has sold us an idealised image of tourist destinations, ever increasing, creating economic growth but also drastically transforming, to the point of irreversibly distorting these postcard images. The problems caused by overtourism have become very clear to the tourist operators and administrators. They look for solutions but are lacking the means and a common vision. Living in a Postcard embarks us on a journey between Cinque Terre, London, Venice, Barcelona and the Norwegian fjords, where we discover the root causes of these problems and if they will still exist after the pandemic. “Responsible Tourism” suggests that it is possible to have a tourism model that cares about residents and their needs. Sometimes the citizens organise civic groups that ask the administration to not look at tourism as the only resource for the city, or the administrations try to tackle overtourism. The online tourism platforms propose the same tourism model in every destination. Another global tourism economy is cruise tourism. When Covid-19 arrived in March 2020, tourism stopped, the problems associated with tourism have gone. But have they really disappeared?
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
Selected from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Photography Collection, we present the landscapes and places in Istanbul photographs, dating from the 1850s to the 1980s, together with their present-day views!
Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
