The Galleria Carla Sozzani presents the 59th edition of the World Press Photo Contest, one of the most important awards for Photojournalism in the world. Every year since 1955, an independent jury of professionals, chosen from among contemporary international personalities, is called to express its opinion on thousands of photos submitted to World Press Photo Foundation in Amsterdam by photojournalists, agencies, magazines, and newspapers. This year, among the 41 photographers awarded in the eight categories of the competition (Spot News, General News, Contemporary Issues, Daily Life, Portraits, Nature, Sports and long-term projects) there are two Italian photographers: Francesco Zizola (category: Contemporary Issues, second prize) and Dario Mitidieri (category: Portraits, third prize).
