Introduction
Tiziano Terzani[1] was an Italian journalist and writer. He had extensively traveled in east Asia and witnessed many important events. The Cini foundation digitized some of his photo collections[2]. Through this project, we try to bring the photographs taken during his trip to South Asian countries to an online platform and present them to the 21st-century digital audience.
