That same year, with the support of the city and a small circle of friends, we launched the first edition of the Senigallia Biennale. Since then, the initiative has grown — not only as an event, but as a culture. One hundred years ago, right here in Senigallia, Mario Giacomelli was born. Following in the footsteps of Giuseppe Cavalli, Gianni Tarini, and Ferruccio Ferroni, he created images full of joy and depth, soon becoming internationally recognized. Today, hundreds of residents practice photography not as a profession, but as a passion. It was through a Senigallia friend that Simona Ballesio first heard about the Biennale and found the location of Atelier 41.

One day, she arrived from her small town of Sutri, in the Lazio region. Photography, for her, is neither a job nor a claim — it is a daily and passionate practice. She asked if she could participate in the next Biennale. I told her that in one way or another, her work would need to reflect the spirit of the celebration: the bicentenary of the invention of photography. She showed me her work and told me of her love for historical techniques, especially her method of hand-applying silver emulsions with a brush. She returned with her sister Giuliana. She connected instantly with the Winter Erasmus students, Elisa and Margaux.

<transmission.plantureux.it/t/d-l-skttult-mcujltt-j/> We introduced her to the kind people of the Associazione Augusto Bellanca, and it was decided not only that she would present a few photographs at Palazzetto Baviera, but that she would also be given a personal retrospective at the association’s gallery — which is still on view.

They even took a table at the collectors’ fair, where they spent time talking with other artists and collectors. Because Senigallia is also about this: taking the time to meet, to share, to listen.
<transmission.plantureux.it/t/d-l-skttult-mcujltt-k/> Simona and Giuliana became especially interested in the work of Michael Kolster — a fellow exhibitor whose approach to 19th-century techniques resonated with her own. That’s the spirit of the Biennale: curiosity, exchange, and slow discovery.
