\nMIA Photo Fair is enriched with a full programme of talks and debates on the most topical of the many subjects involving the world of photography. These include a meeting, held in collaboration with the Community of Sant’Egidio, on the theme of the power of the image as a language for describing the phenomenon of the migration process that is changing Europe. This process is interpreted through the work of such artists and reporters as Liu Bolin<\/strong>, Massimo Sestini<\/strong>, Fabio Bucciarelli<\/strong> and Corrado Levi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
