***********I'VE HAD INQUIRIES REGARDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRINTS I'M OFFERING AND THE RANDOM 'LMTD PRINT PLATE' AND 'EXHIBITION COPY' LISTINGS THAT ARE BEING OFFERED BY SOME OTHER SELLERS.  THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS: THOSE OTHER COPIES ARE FAKE.
THERE ARE NO PRINT PLATES, EXHIBITION COPIES, OR ANY OTHER VERSIONS OF THIS PRINT BESIDES THE #'d EDITION OF 120, AND THE AP EDITION OF 20.  JUST GOOGLE ANY SALE OF THIS PRINT BY LEGITIMATE WEBSITES LIKE CHRISTIES OR BONHAMS, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THESE ARE THE ONLY GENUINE PRINTS.  ALL THE OTHER STUFF ARE REPRODUCTIONS BY SOMEONE WITH A NICE PRINTER, LOTS OF TIME ON THEIR HANDS, AND NO SCRUPLES ABOUT COUNTERFEITING. *******

Massimo Vitali was born in Como, Italy, in 1944.  He moved to London after high school, where he studied Photography at the London College of Printing. "Landscapes with Figures" is a limited edition portfolio, printed by Steidl for Brancolini Grimaldi. For the first and only time, Vitali has made a series of 52 Offset prints of his most significant and captivating photographs. The portfolio includes many of Vitali's images which are now sold out (like Venice Piazza San Marco, the Picnic at the Jardin de Luxembourg, the Rosignano and Viareggio beach scenes).  The portfolio is a beautiful collector's piece, in a limited edItion of 120 + 20 APs.  Each edition is a boxed set of 52 Offset prints on 300g Consort Royale paper and each print is 70 x 90 cm.  The back of each print includes a BRANCOLINI GRIMALDI stamp with the hand-written number of the print in the sequence of 52.

THIS EBAY LISTING IS FOR ''Marina di Massa", WHICH IS #29 IN THE PORTFOLIO.

I HAVE INCLUDED PICS OF MY PORTFOLIO IN THE ORIGINAL BOX, ALONG WITH THE HAND SIGNED COLOPHON COVER SHEET BY MASSIMO VITALI, ALONG WITH THE EDITION NUMBERING (IT IS AN AP EDITION).  I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A PIC OF THE PORTFOLIO INDEX PAGE. THESE PICS ARE TO PROVIDE ASSURANCE OF AUTHENTICITY; HOWEVER, PLEASE REALIZE THAT THE BOX AND COVER SHEET ARE NOT BEING SOLD HERE, ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL PRINT.  PLEASE FORGIVE THE BLURRINESS AND REFLECTIONS ON SOME OF THE PICS; THEY ARE NOT ON THE PRINT, WHICH IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.

THE PRINT WILL BE SHIPPED ROLLED IN A CANNISTER, SECURED AND INSURED.  Buyer Pays $125 for shipping and insurance to most parts of the USA and about $275 to most parts of Europe.
