This year the theme of the week is the enchantment of European photography. We were told that because of the numerous cuts, the event will be reduced compared to previous years, the exhibitions open only on weekends and less numerous (apparently). E 'likely that those "institutional" they are (as they are financed by the municipality) but I am sure that the city will be filled micro-exhibitions everywhere. The bakers, butchers, shops, all esporanno the symbol of belonging to the event even though displaying an image. I do not know what the amount will lead to the quality of the event (we would prefer that the securities of Reggio do the same by opening the vacancies in their environments far more wide-ranging exhibitions), but there is good participation. And these days a city that adheres to a cultural event is already a good first step. But I like the idea that this goes beyond. Beyond the impetus for all to expose something, what is all this visibility? To increase cultural events even during periods outside the festival? To encourage institutions to invest in additional exhibitions or workshops and cultural exchange "European"? Where are the critics, magazines, editors or those supplying the events? They go around to see the exhibits and met institutional nodding to pay so much intellectual effort, here they are around a table to taste the tortellini Reggio who are so good. In Italy this culture that looks down at the table we all levels.
