David Doubilet’s photos at Villa Bardini
Underwater photography comes to Florence with Oceani, the Italian debut of David Doubilet, one of the world’s best-known nature photographers.
Until April 12, 2026, Villa Bardini is hosting the 1ˢᵗ solo exhibition in Italy dedicated to Doubilet, considered a pioneer of underwater exploration through the photographic lens. The extraordinary shots—80 in all—illustrate underwater life from the Caribbean, Antarctica, the Philippines to Australia, in a subaquatic journey through the world’s waters.
Photographer Doubilet has long been inspired by the figure of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, photographer and documentarian of the sea. Together with his wife Jennifer Hayes, a marine biologist and herself an underwater photographer, Doubilet observed the oceans with a focus on flora and fauna.
The exhibition is also a time to reflect on how they are changing due to human interventions in terms of unbridled fishing and pollution.
