The article recounts the success of the latest “Aperitivo Fotografico” event organized by our photography school in Rome. The event, held in a casual atmosphere at the tables of a wine bar on Via Macerata, brought together students, curious onlookers, and enthusiasts to network and discuss visual culture.
During the event, the community discussed the works of great international masters such as William Klein, Alec Soth, and Nan Goldin, while also devoting time to contemporary Italian publishing with an analysis of the book *Mareterno* by Valeria Tofanelli and Lorenzo Catena. The article concludes by inviting readers to future events, reaffirming Daylight School’s commitment to creating a true creative ecosystem based on sharing.
