The rain on Friday frightened many lovers of photographic art in Oradea, who were invited to attend the first opening in the new premises of the “Euro Foto Art” Gallery, Exhibition Center of the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP), recognized by UNESCO, which is why the number of visitors was below the expectations of the organizers.
