24th FotoConfronti

The meeting place for all photography lovers.

The exhibition, will be divided into two sections: that of Young Authors selected by the CIFA Scientific Committee and that of Schools of Photography. The highlight of the event will once again be the space dedicated to the Portfolio Reading, within the FIAF circuit “Portfolio Italia – Gran Premio Panasonic”.
Also this year the Festival will be enriched by the Off section, an alternative section that will leave space for authors outside the official exhibition with installations in the Chostro di San Lorenzo and Galleria Parentesi, venues adjacent to CIFA.
