Artist Biography Collaborates with Galleria Artd2 Milan Galleria Blanchaert Milan Series "Leggere" (photographs not posed) Cities declinated as immense reading rooms open to the sky. The characters depicted are caught casually, not posed. started in 2003 and still ongoing), in which cities are presented as vast reading rooms whose boundaries, embracing stairs, low walls, alleys and monuments, easily become refuges in which to surrender to one’s preferred authors. Montecucco manages to evoke that mellow, malleable atmosphere ready to welcome and nurture the reader, preserving the intimacy of the sweetest moment from the chaos of the cities. In the case of the images presented by Montecucco, the artist has managed to give an additional meaning to his works, which have been enhanced by the concept of reading, hence of Culture. Photography with its casual readers is the protagonist of the architectures and the magnificent artworks scattered through our art cities, it blends with them, creating an intimate, silent dialogue between man, art and thought. The figures depicted are caught casually, while absorbed in reading, often with their backs turned and constantly unaware of being part of a work of art. Claudio Montecucco tells his project by resorting to the words of Robert Doisneau: "What I was trying to show was a world where I would feel good, where people would be kind, where I would find the tenderness I hoped to receive. My photos were like proof that this world can exist."
