The small but productive town of Granieri has about 400 inhabitants and is part of the Council of Caltagirone, a historical artistic city, famous for it’s longstanding ceramic craft tradition.
This fertile artistic context has subsequently hosted the research and dissemination of the photographic medium thanks to the establishment of the Photo-gallery A.N.A.F " Luigi Ghirri " and the " Museo della Fotografia Storica e Contemporanea“
