Trieste Photo Days 2021

The international urban photography festival Trieste Photo Days is back for its eighth edition and will be held in a circuit of venues in Trieste, seaside city in North-Eastern Italy, starting from August, with a series of preview events taking place outside the city (Photo Days Tour) with exhibitions in Parenzo (Croatia), Rome, San Daniele del Friuli, Cormòns, Sacile and at the Trieste Airport.

The peak of the Festival will be from  28th October to  1st November 2021 with a weekend full of exhibitions, meetings and workshops.
