Venice Photographed by Massimo Listri

The beautiful set of photographs by Massimo Listri will be displayed at the Salone da Ballo of the Correr Museum and coherently depicts the monumental architectures of the Civic Museums of Venice, the beauty of their rooms, the airy outside spaces and the constant marvels of the exhibitions inside.

Being one of the most acclaimed Italian photographers, Listri’s talent reveals the true soul of these venues, with the aid of light and colour that pervade the interiors during the different hours of the day, and the beauty of the series of rooms that compose the Correr Museum or the Palazzo Reale.

His photographs seem able to capture what others are not able to see for themselves, and fix in time the exact instant in which he manages to capture the mysterious aura of the museum’s rooms. His secret technique relies on natural light, untouched by technology. His aim is to create: “a work of art inside the work of art”.
