Lodi, September 27 – October 26, 2025

In Lodi, you can already feel a special energy that accompanies the preparations for the 16th edition of the Festival of Ethical Photography.

Behind the scenes, the staff is working to build a path made of images, emotions and stories. Necessary stories, which too often remain outside the spotlight of traditional media, but which deserve to be seen, heard, understood.

Not just exhibitions, but also guided tours, author talks, book presentations, portfolio readings, video projections, educational programs.

And all this happens in a special place: Lodi, a town on a human scale, where time seems to slow down, allowing visitors to immerse themselves calmly and attentively in each exhibition, in each story, listening to what is happening in the world from the photographers' own voice.

This year, 1,002 photographers participated with almost 1,158 photographic works from 80 different countries.
