Appennino Foto Festival

In 2025, the Appennino Foto Festival reached its sixth edition, with the theme "Fragility. The beauty of the ephemeral." According to artistic director Stefano Ciocchetti, fragile is that which can break easily, but it is precisely its ephemerality that makes it wonderfully unique in its beauty.

From June 6 to July 13, the festival took place in the villages of the Macerata area, including Cessapalombo, Belforte del Chienti, Caldarola, Camporotondo di Fiastrone, and Serrapetrona, with a rich program of over twenty events including exhibitions, meetings, workshops, and photographic walks. In Cessapalombo itself, at the start of the event, the poet, writer, and landscape expert Franco Arminio, one of the most beloved voices in the storytelling of small Apennine villages, was welcomed.
