21 Oct-8 Jan. FOTOGRAFIA, the Rome International Photography Festival, showcases the work of emerging talents and promotes contemporary photography in its various forms and languages.

This year the 15th edition of the festival is dedicated to Roma, il mondo, examining the important and long-established role that Rome plays on the world stage and, closer to home, with the capital's foreign cultural institutes.

The Roman theme was chosen to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of the first volume of Goethe's Italian Journey, and central to this year's festival is its customary collaboration with the city's principal foreign academies including the American Academy in Rome, the German Academy at Villa Massimo and the French Academy at Villa Medici.
