Massimo Listri (Florence, 1953) began working at seventeen during his high school years portraying great cultural personalities in black and white, but his attention soon turned to architecture. The meeting with the publisher Franco Maria Ricci marked a real turning point in his career because for the sophisticated magazine FMR he realised photo shoots interpreting the most beautiful public and private buildings in exteriors and above all interiors, creating an archive that allowed him to publish 80 books with European and American publishers and to organise many exhibitions in the most important institutions all over the world.
Massimo Listri does not study the places he photographs, he prefers to be guided by his intuitions and by the harmony with the subjects deriving from the love he has for harmony and beauty. Although he now shoots with more manageable digital cameras, having used the optical bench for years has taught him a valuable compositional ability well highlighted in this image of an institutional place that characterizes his style, the result of careful work and a few very studied images. In the shot of Montecitorio he uses the natural symmetry of the large room to give the image the austerity that the seat of Parliament deserves. The large size of the images is a conscious stylistic choice by Listri that allows you to fully appreciate lines, shadows, details, thus making it clear that, if the human figure does not appear, its presence is always felt.
