A festival of average size but with a wide scope,
and
always accompanied by an exhaustive catalogue that makes the festival
known all over the world,
F&P
since 2001
turns the town of Cesano Maderno into the center of the Italian
photography scene every year. Its importance is partly due to the
exhibitions on an international level, the “off” events, open to new
proposals, the meetings and the lectures, but also to the fact that
during F&P the city becomes one big photography gallery, with shows
in every available public and private space, from the halls of the
prestigious Palazzo Borromeo, to the cinema, to the library, to
associations, hotels, bars and shops.
The international
photography festival Foto&Photo becomes
biennial. In 2007 its splendid seat Palazzo Arese Borromeo
housed an important and special event to give the official
communication. As usual, the drive behind the festival is the
Cesano Maderno town council with the patronage of Provincia di Monza
e Brianza, Assessorato per l’Attuazione. The point of junction with
the festival next edition was the magnificent exhibition
Celebrità dietro l’obiettivo. This great event has given
continuity to the commitment in fine art photography in the Brianza
area, and has kept high the excellent level that Foto&Photo has
gained in the past 6th editions.
