We offer a very articulated program of great value, as well as new contents. There will be more activities related with new conceptions of imaging: from food photography to commitment to social responsability.We want to transfer the passion and values of photography, hoping to collect the enthusiasm of both photography enthusiasts, and those new to the field, with special attention to the young generations. We are witnesses of a social phenomenon that doesn’t stop to conventional exhibits, but rather enters in our daily life.
