June 18 – Italy chose Simona Ghizzoni’s art for the Athens Photo Festival, the most important international photography festival in southeastern Europe that brings together photographers from around the world. Simona Ghizzoni was born in Reggio Emilia in 1977, but she lives and works in Rome. After graduating in History of Photography, she attended the Reflexions Masterclass. Since 2005, Ghizzone has been dedicated to social reportage with particular regard to the status of women. In parallel, she continues her personal research on “Rayuela”, a kind of diary in which she collects her daily experiences between autobiography and dream. “Rayuela” is the project that will seduce photo enthusiasts in Athen. The festival kicked off on Wednesday, June 3 and will close its doors on Sunday, July 26. Ghizzoni’s photographs are on display at the Benaki Museum, one of the oldest and most prestigious museums in Greece. The exhibition is promoted by the Italian Cultural Institute in Athens.
