Massimo Listri travels his native Italy and the world with his camera, photographing grand interior spaces both iconic and unexpected.
Listri's landscape photography and large-scale color prints invite viewers into the settings he frames; these include ancient castles, villas, palaces, gardens, libraries, convents, monasteries, and universities. He has taken viewers into the ornate hallways of Versailles, as well as the treasure-laden galleries of the Vatican museums. From Brazil, Listri brought back images taken at art museums, a cathedral, and a theater designed by Oscar Niemeyer, among many other architecturally iconic sites.
Though Listri focuses on the grand, he has also homed in on details in an expressive series of closely framed photographs of sculpted faces. Captured frontally or in profile, these carved faces range from grotesque to idealized and serve to celebrate the power of the artist’s hand.

Massimo Listri, 'Galleria degli Uffizi, Firenze'
By Massimo Listri
Located in New York, NY
Galleria degli Uffizi, Firenze, 2019 “Beauty is never given. For Listri it is sought for, recognised, crea- ted.” (Cesare Cunaccia) “His photographs are theorems of human absence ...” (Vittorio Sgarbi) Born in Florence in 1953, even as a child Massimo Listri busied himself with the photographic medium, and when he was an art student he supplied many photographs to periodicals devoted to art, architecture and interior design. "What makes his work unique is how he has made interiors look so absolutely vivid, as if they had a secret life of their own that only he knows how to portray. Listri has the extraordinary ability to capture all the small details that make the difference and reveal all the stories that remain hidden behind the surface. Listri's photos transmit an almost deafening silence, as if time had stopped and humans had suddenly disappeared and the only thing reminiscent of them are the interiors they've left behind, the remains of their lives and their passions, their art and their culture." Apostolos Mitsios His work has been presented in many solo exhibitions throughout the world, including: the Palazzo Reale, Milan (2008), the Palazzo Pitti, Florence (2009), the Morgan Library and Museum, New York (2010), the National Library of Taipei (2012), the Italian Institute of Culture, Tokyo (2012), the Museum of Modern Art of Bogota (2012), the Museum of Italian Art, Lima (2012), the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art (2012), the “living art gallery”, Santiago de Chile (2013), the Galeria Nacional de Bellas Artes, Dominican Re- public (2013), the Schusev State Museum of Architecture, Moscow (2013), the Museo Nacional San Carlos, Mexico City (2014), the Benaki Museum...
