IMP Festival (International Month of Photojournalism) is an important event dedicated to the art of photojournalism set in Padua, Italy.

Structure
The festival is created and promoted by the association Irfoss aps - Institute of Research and Formation in Social Science together with the cultural department of Padua, the University of Padua, the journalists' Association of Veneto, the international agency MAGNUM Photos e the agency Prospekt Photographers.

On the entire month of June the festival presents the works of reporters and photojournalists about the world's issues and contradictions, in addition to guided tours, talks and workshops.

The first two editions recorded the presence of sixty international authors, from five different countries, and more than 20.000 visitors arrived from all Italy.

Riccardo Bononi, artistic director of the festival, thinks that the main idea of the IMP Festival is the conviction that photojournalism is the most rapid tool of access to stories and international debates, which are able to connect all the world, thanks to a method that involves everyone and that is aware of its fundamental role of witnessing the wolrd's issues.

Location
The festival is set in the main exposition locations of the city, that is historic buildings and galleries: Palazzo Moroni, Loggia della Gran Guardia, the cultural centre San Gaetano, Palazzo Angeli, Galleria Cavour, and the cathedral Ex-Macello in via Cornaro.
