IIC Montreal: A webinar with the photographer Giovanni Capriotti

The Italian Cultural Institute of Montreal, as part of the Webinar series “L’Italia delle voci”, dedicated to the most outstanding figures in the various areas of Italian culture, is pleased to present the rich and varied experience of the photographer Giovanni Capriotti, winner, among other things, of the World Press Photo (Sport Stories) in 2017.

In addition to the photographer, Francesco D’Arelli, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute of Montreal, and the registered attendees will take part in the presentation and discussion.

For years an internationally renowned photographer, Giovanni Capriotti has been researching and telling real-life stories, where the image is the most sonorous and speaking note of the narrative. His stories are the essence of long and exhausting explorations in the most remote places in Asia, the Americas, Canada and Italy.

The appointment is for Thursday, July 16, at 3:00pm EST (9:00pm, Rome) on the Zoom platform. To register click here
