MARIO GIACOMELLI

Mario Giacomelli (1925-2000 Senigallia) was an Italian photographer and photo-journalist. His inimitable revolutionary photographic language was born in the 1950s, this way of shooting in Italy, where the neo realistic composition was considered the most polite,  was literally unsettling. It is a photograph full of life, Giacomelli loves "contradictions and smudges”. A photograph that is neither objective or subjective that clings, as never before, to the concreteness of the world, returned truer than reality.
