The history of CRAF is HISTORY.
Since 1955, the year in which the Gruppo Friulano per una Nuova Fotografia - Friulian Group for a New Photography - was established, Spilimbergo has become the symbol of the emerging neorealist photography and a talent powerhouse. Here the protagonists of the history of world photography have alternated for exhibitions and workshops. We have chosen to share, for the first time, our most intimate and engaging story through visual testimonies, letters and special dedications that tell all of you about this inextinguishable passion.
