From May 5 to 9, 2025, Sirmione will host Photography as a Visual Poem, an exclusive photography workshop led by Jacob and Sara Aue Sobol, members of Magnum Photos, to discover and immortalize the poetry of everyday life in Sirmione.
The Photography as a Visual Poem workshop, created in collaboration with the Municipality of Sirmione, offers a unique opportunity for photographers to explore human connections through the photographic lens. Sirmione, with its timeless charm, will be the perfect stage to capture the essence of authentic connections between people, culture and landscape.
