Sirmione Photo Marathon 2026: Themes – 10:00 AM

• THEME 1: ROMAN HOLIDAY

“The memory of this visit will stay with me as long as I live.”

The theme of discovery: seeing Sirmione through the eyes of a first-time visitor—much like the princess in the film, escaping her royal duties. Narrow lanes, bicycles, the Scaligero Castle in the morning light, and the interplay between early-bird tourists, locals, and the bustle of the historic center. It is an invitation to capture the freedom of wandering without a specific destination.

• THEME 2: LA DOLCE VITA

“Paparazzo, enough!”

A dual tribute: to the film itself and to the fact that the very word “paparazzi” originated from the character of the photographer Paparazzo. The theme focuses on the glamorous atmosphere of the lakeside promenade at its liveliest—terraces, sunglasses, boats, people seeing and being seen, café culture, candid portraits, and atmospheric shots.
