Stefano Mani is the winner of the fourth week of the Sirmione Block Notes Photo Contest, with his image titled “Gioia” (Joy). The image was chosen from 81 participating photographs by the jury. This photography contest lasts for 4 weeks and participation is free, allowing photographers to take their photos wherever they wish.
In an interesting coincidence, the announcement of the winner took place on the day that marked the 200th anniversary of the first performance of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy at the Kärntnertor Theater in Vienna. This detail adds a special meaning to the winning image and the joy it represents.
