Nicola Mauro Salza and Alessandro Solimani

Minutera is a Spanish word that means “a few seconds of time.” It is an immortalized instant that seems to appear from a magical box in just a few minutes.

Nicola Mauro Salza and Alessandro Solimani are among the few remaining minuterie photographers in Italy.

They wander through the squares with their miniature darkrooms, passionately pursuing a craft that seems to have been lost in time, introducing people to the wonder of an ancient photographic art and leaving in their hands a “captured moment” on a piece of wet silver paper.
