Mario Giacomelli (1925–2000) - SCANNO (dalla serie)

Original photograph by Mario Giacomelli (1925-2000) with a double signature belonging to the author's famous series: Scanno, a place where he went to photograph in 1957 and 1959. The print is later. Gelatin silver print.

Mario Giacomelli, an orphan from a very young age, works as an apprentice in the printing shop that he would own after the war. In 1953 he takes his first photograph with a simple Bencini Comet, immediately sensing that he could express himself through photography.

The support and guidance of Giuseppe Cavalli, Paolo Monti, Luigi Crocenzi and Giuseppe Turroni make him known as a breath of fresh air thanks to a style based on the contrasts of his black and white and to a sensibility that leads him to an expressionist vision of the landscape and a very intense way of interpreting the lyrics of great poets such as Leopardi, Cardarelli, Turoldo, Lee Masters. Many exhibitions have been staged around the world and the books he produced.

The work was published in many books and magazines and is part of a very famous series by this author. It is signed on the verso (center-left) and on the recto (bottom right). It is in excellent condition and bears no kind of mark or scratch or other defect.
