An exhibition celebrates the legendary photos of the Pirelli calendar. Look at the most beautiful!

The Pirelli calendar, simply The Cal for amateurs, is one of those myths of the "image and communication that has accompanied us for more than fifty" years. Its mix of exclusivity (only a few numbered copies for each year), of engagements for excellent photographers and divas who become models for the occasion, has made it an indisputable object of desire, from many points of view.
