The World Press Photo Exhibition Italian stopoff will take place in Naples this year, marking one of the world’s most prestigious photography events occurring since 1955.
The exhibition has previously been held in Milan, but this year it’s moving to the Palazzo delle Arti in Naples from September 24 to October 14.
The Exhibition will be on its way from Japan and the move to Naples is an exciting event for the city as the 2009 World Press Photo prize went to a local photographer, Pietro Masturzo, for his depiction of the rooftops of Teheran.
The city of Naples is hoping to host the Italian leg of the exhibition in the future and plenty of workshops and meetings have been organised to help support the event.
Photographers present include Masturzo, Joe Petersberger who will run a workshop and David Chancellor, a previous winner of the People In The News Stories category.
