Savignano sul Rubicone once again becomes the capital of contemporary photography with the 35th edition of SI Fest, the international festival that, since 1992, has drawn photographers, curators, professionals, and enthusiasts from all over Italy and abroad: scheduled for the weekend of September 11–13, 2026, with exhibitions open to the public on the following two weekends as well.
Titled “Still Standing,” the 2026 edition invites visitors to reflect on the ability to endure, transform, and imagine the future through the language of photography. Exhibitions, original productions, installations, and artist-led projects engage with the city’s historical heritage, transforming squares, buildings, and exhibition spaces into a widespread journey dedicated to the culture of the image.
The program unfolds over three weekends with exhibitions, meetings with artists, talks, workshops, screenings, and the traditional portfolio reviews—among the most anticipated events for emerging photographers and industry professionals.
Once again this year, the festival reaffirms its international focus, offering a perspective on photography as a tool for storytelling, research, and interpretation of contemporary reality.
For three weeks, Savignano sul Rubicone is thus transformed into an open-air cultural laboratory, where photography becomes an opportunity for encounter, exchange, and discovery, involving residents, visitors, and key figures from the international photography scene.
