The 1st photographic competition "The Territory, the mountain Arnica and the spontaneous flora of Piancavallo" ended with the awards ceremony on Sunday 8 August, on the stage of Piazzale della Puppa, which also saw the inauguration of the exhibition of 60 images of landscapes, flora, fauna and architecture that can be visited until 19 September along the Galleria of the Piancavallo Shopping Center.
Strong participation of the public and photographers, who were 42 with 252 photos overall to present their shots at this first very successful edition ... already thinking about next year!
A particularly exciting moment was dedicated to the memory of Guido Cecere , the unforgotten and late photographer, pillar of the cultural and artistic scene in Pordenone and beyond, with a section of the awards named after him.
