He counts some 3,500 that he\u2019s documented. About two thirds of those are private villas and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-palazzo-del-quirinale-portico-del-cortile-donore\/id-a_1118773\/\">palaces<\/a>, the rest, churches, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-galleria-degli-uffizi-la-sala-della-controriforma-firenze\/id-a_1392153\/\">museums<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-biblioteca-angelica-roma\/id-a_532592\/\">libraries<\/a>. It\u2019s no surprise the Florentine native has been on <em>AD Italia<\/em>\u2019s roster for more than 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>A publisher in his own right, Listri has produced an impressive number \u2014 nearly 70 \u2014 book titles on subjects such as Italian palaces and gardens, divine proportion, anti-minimalist homes, new Asian interiors and residences in Marrakech and Mexico City.<\/p>\n<p>Coveted by the design elite, his work needs no formal representation. Although his prints can be found at Chroma Gallery, Holden Luntz and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/international-fine-arts-consortium-ifac-arts\/\">International Fine Arts Consortium<\/a>, Listri doesn\u2019t depend on galleries for sales. Instead, prominent figures come knocking on his door. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/karl-lagerfeld\/\">Karl Lagerfeld<\/a> has at least four of his prints. Bill Clinton is a known collector, as are Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee and Hong Kong financier Eugene Chuang and his wife, Karen Lo, who bought a few Listri prints to adorn their recently acquired $70 million Malibu mega mansion.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_263573\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263573\" class=\"wp-image-263573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriPalazzoDucalediMassa_l.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriPalazzoDucalediMassa_l.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriPalazzoDucalediMassa_l-438x350.jpg 438w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriPalazzoDucalediMassa_l-950x760.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriPalazzoDucalediMassa_l-120x96.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriPalazzoDucalediMassa_l-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriPalazzoDucalediMassa_l-1166x933.jpg 1166w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-263573\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-palazzo-ducale-di-massa\/id-a_222702\/#0\"><i>Palazzo Ducale di Massa<i><\/i>, 1999<\/i><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Listri\u2019s father was certainly an influential character early on in his career. Pier Francesco Listri studied Classics in Florence and went on to become a \u201cmaestro\u201d of journalism, writing for the biggest papers: <em>il Giornale<\/em>, <em>il Sole 24 ore<\/em> and <em>L\u2019Espresso<\/em>. It was only natural that the fledgling photographer\u2019s very first assignments were portraits of prominent Italian intellectuals.<\/p>\n<p>As he recalls, \u201cAt 17 years old, I proposed to do a photo shoot for Bolaffi Arte. But it was with [the publisher] Allemandi that I was able to freely express myself. He remembers calling from a payphone to set up appointments with his various subjects. \u201cI went into the homes of Alfonso Gatto, Leo Sinigalli, Cesare Zavattini and Pier Pasolini. . . . I remember a portrait of Pasolini at work in his house in Rome. He left me with a signed text that I jealously guarded.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_263253\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263253\" class=\"wp-image-263253 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifac_listri_Castel_Capuano_Napoli_2013_l.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifac_listri_Castel_Capuano_Napoli_2013_l.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifac_listri_Castel_Capuano_Napoli_2013_l-437x350.jpg 437w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifac_listri_Castel_Capuano_Napoli_2013_l-120x96.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-263253\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-castel-capuano-napoli-2013\/id-a_1842403\/\"><i>Castel Capuano, Napoli<i><\/i>, 2013<\/i><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, according to Listri, \u201cthe real turning point came with FMR and then right after with <em>AD Italia<\/em>.\u201d When he began working in 1981 for the legendary art publisher Franco Maria Ricci on his influential, but now defunct, magazine <em>FRM<\/em>, it was the first time the young photographer was sent to capture the interiors of palaces. He\u2019s since made a career out of shooting such grand locales as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-biblioteca-apostolica-vaticana-citta-vaticano\/id-a_1218893\/\">Apostolic Library in the Vatican<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-chateau-de-versailles\/id-a_547712\/\">Chateau of Versailles<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-teatro-la-scala-ii-milano\/id-a_1609621\/\">Teatro La Scala in Milan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When pressed on what he notices upon first entering a space, he says that \u201cthe first impact is the volume. Volume, space and light are the three ingredients that form what we usually call atmosphere. That is the life breath of a place.\u201d He routinely shoots straight-on to stress the geometric purity of a room. Capturing perfect symmetry and rigid perspective lines are his modus operandi.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_263613\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263613\" class=\"wp-image-263613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriBibliotecaRealGabinetedeLeituraRio_l.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriBibliotecaRealGabinetedeLeituraRio_l.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriBibliotecaRealGabinetedeLeituraRio_l-467x350.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriBibliotecaRealGabinetedeLeituraRio_l-950x713.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriBibliotecaRealGabinetedeLeituraRio_l-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriBibliotecaRealGabinetedeLeituraRio_l-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifaclistriBibliotecaRealGabinetedeLeituraRio_l-1244x933.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-263613\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-biblioteca-real-gabinete-de-leitura-rio-de-janeiro-brasile\/id-a_547692\/\"><i>Biblioteca Real Gabinete de Leitura, Rio de Janeiro, Brasile<i><\/i>, 2012<\/i><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Although he never went to college, Listri is a student of sorts. The photographer is known to study the natural light in a space for a full day before returning to shoot. His images contain a soft luminosity that gives life to the space and often to the figures within \u2014 evidenced in his 2014 Vatican show, which focused solely on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-musei-vaticani-ii-rome\/id-a_1609651\/\">marble statues that appear in his work<\/a>. Critics have aptly referred to him as a portrait artist of spaces.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear Listri forms an attachment to the spaces he shoots. \u201cIt was amazing when I went to the Czech Republic, right after the fall of the Berlin wall, to this vacant manor. The caretaker let me in and then locked me in. He came back at the end of the day to get me. I photographed the space, and then I sat down and just had a connection with the place.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_263633\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263633\" class=\"wp-image-263633 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifac_listri_Palazzo_Altieri_Roma_1997_l.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifac_listri_Palazzo_Altieri_Roma_1997_l.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifac_listri_Palazzo_Altieri_Roma_1997_l-444x350.jpg 444w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ifac_listri_Palazzo_Altieri_Roma_1997_l-120x95.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-263633\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-palazzo-altieri-roma-1997\/id-a_1842353\/\"><i>Palazzo Altieri, Roma<i><\/i>, 1997<\/i><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The theme of emptiness he explored in the Czech Republic is a consistent theme in his work. While many of Listri\u2019s uninhabited interiors inspire a kind of reverential awe, as in his pictures of stately settings like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-palazzo-del-quirinale-salone-dei-corazzieri\/id-a_1118743\/\">Palazzo Quirinale in Rome<\/a>, others, for example, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-palazzo-butera-i-palermo\/id-a_1842483\/\">empty abode in Palermo<\/a>, exude an almost eerie decadence.<\/p>\n<p>Given Listri\u2019s obsession with empty spaces, it&#8217;s hard imagine how packed the rooms of his own home are. Within its walls, just off of Florence\u2019s Santo Spirito square, lies a trove of antiquities, some acquired from the owners of the very palaces he\u2019s photographed. Although his collection focuses on early Greek and Roman sculpture, Listri has no limits when it comes to period or geography. Eighteenth-century European furniture is mixed with Chinese and Japanese porcelain, modernist paintings and, of course, his own photography.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/massimo-listri-home-tour\/\">photos he\u2019s taken of his own home<\/a> are in even more intimate than the works that made him famous.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_263653\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263653\" class=\"wp-image-263653 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IFAC_Massimo_Listri_Archivio_delle_Indie_Seviglia_1990_2_l.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IFAC_Massimo_Listri_Archivio_delle_Indie_Seviglia_1990_2_l.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IFAC_Massimo_Listri_Archivio_delle_Indie_Seviglia_1990_2_l-420x350.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IFAC_Massimo_Listri_Archivio_delle_Indie_Seviglia_1990_2_l-120x100.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-263653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/color-photography\/massimo-listri-archivio-delle-indie-seviglia\/id-a_907643\/\">Archivio delle Indie, Seviglia<i><\/i>, 1990<\/a><\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Massimo Listri is a prolific, and even obsessive, photographer of spaces.
