Let's look at the composition of the Collections in detail:
Colombo Collection
Donated to CRAF in 2006 by the Milanese gallerist and critic Lanfranco Colombo, it includes the complete and already arranged series of the art gallery Il Diaframma, which he founded. This archive material is subdivided into files and folders in alphabetical order (with biography and correspondence) of photographers and various artists who collaborated on the exhibition projects proposed by the gallery and in chronological order for the press reviews following the promotion of events . The Collection, for its abundant contents, can be considered a meta-history of photography, or the history of one of the most prolific galleries in Italy.

Crocenzi Collection
Acquired by CRAF in 1995 from the Crocenzi family, it contains the correspondence of the intellectual from the Marche region, collaborator of Elio Vittorini in Il Politecnico and in Conversazione in Sicilia, with eminent literary and photographic figures, nationally and internationally renowned. The autographed and typewritten correspondence exceeds 100 subject headings.
