The Lectio Magistralis on Photography returns for the second consecutive year, an opportunity to meet the great protagonists of photography who, in dialogue with figures from the world of journalism, criticism and communications, recount their own artistic experience.

Ferdinando Scianna reflects on the Craft of the Photographer, reviewing the fundamental chapters of his career. From the 1960s in Sicily, the land of his birth, where he met and became good friends with Leonardo Sciascia, with whom he worked to produce a number of photographic books; to the 1970s in Paris, where he got to know Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of the photographers who influenced his expressive idiom and who introduced him in 1982, the first Italian, to the Magnum agency of which he became a partner in 1989; through to the 1980s and his success in the field of advertising and fashion with, for example his contributions to the Dolce and Gabbana campaigns.
