The dense cultural program with talks and debates, with focus on special projects, turns out to be an occasion of growth dedicated to the arguments of greater up-to-datedness on what regards photography.

Once again confirms the mission of a Milanese manifestation that points to the rigors, to the high photographic quality, to the competence of the owners of galleries and to the experience of an attentive scientific committee to riddle the proposals of many authors and to scout them in collaboration with the galleries, and by also promoting the rebirth of prestigious artists that have decided to get back in the game.
