CAMERA – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia

CAMERA – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia opened to the public on October 1, 2015, providing Italy with a structure for enhancing access to national and international photography, through an open dialogue with artists and institutions.  By carrying out studies, experiments and activities on photography, CAMERA’s cultural offer is designed to generate exchanges, raise questions and explore the representation of reality through images in great depth. Every aspect of photography is studied as a language, and the outcome is exhibited with no exceptions in terms of genre or function. CAMERA promotes an international network of institutions and personalities, whose collaboration is aimed at the development of new projects and the diffusion of the multiple opportunities offered by the medium to a wide, heterogeneous audience. With 2,000 square metres of floor space, CAMERA is based at number 18 Via delle Rosine, in premises leased from the Opera Munifica Istruzione known as the Isolato di Santa Pelagia, in the building where the very first public school of the Kingdom of Italy was founded. The Centre is contributing to the vitality of its neighbourhood, which already draws visitors to the National Cinema Museum, the Royal Palace and the Egyptian Museum, as well as numerous private galleries.
