Live talk with Pierpaolo Mittica, special guest of Vajont Photo Days: 1963 – 2023.
The photographic project Vajont Photo Days: 1963 – 2023 is a dialogue between photography, historical memory, dissemination and enhancement of the territory. An exciting journey through time, starting from “before the tragedy” up to the present day, sixty years after the dramatic event of the Vajont. An in-depth view of the territory affected by the disaster, exploring the history, the culture, the daily life of the people who live it and their memory.
