About Premio Marco Bastianelli

The award, in memory of the journalist Marco Bastianelli and his commitment to photographic publishing, aims to promote the photographic book in its form as a complete and innovative project in photography, graphics, and the descriptive capacity of storytelling, and in the extreme freedom to experiment with form, structure, materials, and content that the art book offers, measuring itself with the compositional space of the page and the image.
