Brescia Photo Festival is a yearly international event dedicated to photography, transforming the city of Brescia into a hub for enthusiasts, professionals and scholars of the image.
Each edition is built around a central theme, which is explored through social, historical and artistic perspectives, offering a visual narrative capable of stimulating reflection and dialogue.
Beside the exhibitions, the festival offers conferences, meetings, workshops, and educational activities that encourage the exchange of ideas and active public participation.
Thanks to its collaboration with institutions such as the Fondazione Brescia Musei, the Brescia Photo Festival has established itself as a major cultural event, promoting photography as an art form, a language of knowledge, and a tool for contemporary reflection, consolidating Brescia's role as Italy's cultural capital.
I had the opportunity to actively collaborate on the first three editions of the Brescia Photo Festival, a prestigious project that represented an important opportunity for professional and creative growth.
Selected from among the students of the Multimedia Graphic Design Dept., I contributed to the creation of the festival's visual identity and the definition of its communication strategy.
The success of the first edition led the teachers in charge to recognise my efforts, management skills, and strategic vision, giving me the team lead for the next two editions.
In this role, I built up key skills like managing a multidisciplinary team, planning activities, and effectively responding to the needs of an international cultural event.
The first three editions of the Brescia Photo Festival stood out for their ability to combine the narrative power of photography with themes of profound social and cultural relevance, transforming Brescia into a veritable stage dedicated to visual art.
For me, contributing to the success of such a large-scale project was a source of pride and provided a solid foundation for my professional career, confirming the value of teamwork and visual communication as tools for connection and cultural impact.
The first edition of Brescia Photo Festival explored the theme “People”, focusing on human beings and their stories through photography as a universal narrative tool. Among the key moments was Steve McCurry's exhibition ‘Leggere’, which narrated the intimacy of people immersed in reading in different contexts, from the Afghan desert to Western metropolises.
The edition highlighted photography's ability to transcend cultural and geographical boundaries, narrating universal stories with an immediate and powerful visual language.
The second edition focused on the theme “Collections”, a photographic journey dedicated to urban complexity, iconic architecture and the everyday stories that animate modern metropolises.
The exhibitions, held at the Santa Giulia Museum, the Ma.Co.f and other urban spaces in the city, presented a selection of works by Italian and international photographers, offering a multifaceted and profound insight into life in contemporary cities.
The aim of the edition was to explore the relationship between people and urban space, capturing the beating heart of cities through the camera lens and offering the public a visual narrative that could blend aesthetics, emotion and social reflection.
The third edition explored the theme “Donne”, celebrating the female figure both as a photographic subject and as the protagonist behind the lens. Through works by artists such as Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Vanessa Beecroft, Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron, the exhibitions, hosted at the Santa Giulia Museum and other cultural venues, highlighted the contribution of women to photography.
The edition aimed to overcome stereotypes and offer new perspectives for reflection, celebrating women as muses, narrators and active protagonists on the international photography scene.
