Cortona On The Move

Cortona On The Move is the international festival of contemporary photography held every summer in Cortona, with the aim of promoting new visions and original forms of visual communication.

Cortona On The Move has become a true experimentation center for the evolution of photographic language and has become one of the main Italian events in the sector for established photographers, amateurs and enthusiasts.

There are also original works chosen through the Cortona On the Move Open Call, the Happiness ONTHEMOVE international award, and other special open call.

The days of the festival see the most important photography professionals on the world scene, engaged in events, presentations, talks, workshops and portfolio reviews.

The Cortona On The Move exhibitions are set up in the historic buildings in the center of the town and in the Fortezza del Girifalco, the Medici fortress that overlooks Cortona.

The 15th edition of Cortona On The Move, titled “Come Together,” will run from July 17 to November 2, 2025: wounds, healing and reconciliation, social, political and personal.

An edition that aims to explore the spaces between ruptures and repairs, between conflict and coming together, to understand what it means to find common ground when the ground itself often seems to give way beneath our feet. The strength and courage that drive us to try to mend cracked relationships, in families, along borders, within ourselves.
