San Sebastiano Contemporary Reopens with Bold Sicilian Photography Show
The San Sebastiano Contemporary gallery in Palazzolo Acreide, Sicily, has reopened after the lockdown, launching a photography exhibit overseen by Aldo Premoli. This display features a mix of established and emerging Sicilian photographers, including names like Salvo Alibrio, Francesco Bellina, Davide Bramante, and others, along with sound engineer Michele Spadaro, whose digital soundproofing enhances the experience. Visitors can check it out until July 5, 2020. The exhibit's debut stirred some controversy when the Regional Tourism Assessor suggested a €30 fee for representative images of Sicily, including full copyright, which upset many professional photographers. The gallery aims to promote the culture of Sicilian photography and support both new and veteran artists.
