The Museo Nazionale di Fotografia, the only public museum in Italy dedicated to photography, has been active since 2004 in the field of conservation, cataloging, study, and dissemination of photography, with a particular focus on ongoing technological transformations.

It houses an important photographic heritage of over 2 million images by over 1,000 Italian and foreign authors. The collection, constantly expanding, comes from public commissions, acquisitions, donations, and deposits. The set of images provides a significant overview of photography from the post-World War II period to the present day.

The museum's specialized library, open to the public, includes around 20,000 volumes of monographs, catalogs, theoretical and historical texts, as well as collections of Italian and foreign magazines.

The Museo Nazionale di Fotografia offers the public various types of anthological and monographic exhibitions, operating in a national and international context; at the same time, it is deeply rooted in the metropolitan area where it is located, engaging in continuous dialogue with the communities that inhabit it.
