Join us in Livorno, a vibrant port city on Italy’s western coast, famous for its historic canals, stunning seafront promenades, and unique urban landscapes. From the iconic Terrazza Mascagni, with its breathtaking view of the Mediterranean, to the charming Fortezza Nuova and the winding canals of "Little Venice", Livorno offers the perfect backdrop for a street photography celebration like no other.

Three days of photography, art, and community — featuring exhibitions, photowalks, portfolio reviews, talks, books, international guests, and much more.

Come be part of the first edition of Progressive Street’s Show and Exhibition in the heart of Livorno!
