Who We Are
Giovane Fotografia Italiana (Young Italian Photography) is a Municipality of Reggio Emilia project promoting the discovery and showcase of emerging photography talents in Italy. Currently in its tenth edition, the format includes a free-of-charge Open Call for artists under 35 years of age, who are invited to submit photographic series in line with the concept of each year. At the heart of the project is the idea of approaching photography as artistic research. An international commission selects the works that, receiving a financial reward, are produced and shown in a collective exhibition in the European Photography program in Reggio Emilia. Since 2018, the Young Italian Photography Award is connected to a cash reward presented to the best artist out of seven finalists. Since 2012, the works of over eighty photographers who took part to Young Italian Photography have been collected.
Young Italian Photography is a project curated by Daniele De Luigi, supported since 2018 by Ilaria Campioli.
The tenth edition of Young Italian Photography is promoted by the Municipality of Reggio Emilia, with the contribution of Reire srl., in partnership with Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm and Triennale Milano. In collaboration with GAI – Association for the Circuit of Young Italian Artists, Fotografia Europea; Fotofestiwal Łódź (Poland)Photoworks Festival, Brighton; Festival Panoràmic of Granollers (Barcelona).
