Floralism was born from the desire to explore new possibilities and territories and finds in contamination a fundamental ingredient for growth and change.
Photography, in its interaction between light and matter, gives us different visions that arise from the perspectives of 3 photographers: Federico Massimiliano Mozzano, Giulio Di Mauro and Tania Alineri, passionate about the world of flowers and botany. Their looks will show us the potential of the installations.
Federico Massimiliano Mozzano
He attended the R. Rossellini State Institute for Cinematography and Television, with the qualification of camera operator and director of photography, later the Faculty of Literature and Philosophy, with a historical-artistic address.

Giulio Di Mauro
Giulio Di Mauro was born in Rome in 1978. Despite the nomadic attitude that pushes us forward, he inherits from the indolent capital the interest in history (first of art, and then of culinary culture) and a taste for nostalgia. Time is the pivot of his main projects: above all Post Romantic Empire (2003> 2012) which is both a portrait archive and a record label, dedicated to the legacy of Romanticism, and the establishment of the collection of vintage photos and curatorial project The Peer Gallery (since 2008, founded with the English artist David Tibet). Already assistant to Angelo Cricchi and photojournalist for Ansa Milano, and after a very funny and tiring career as a fashion photographer – first recognized by the magazines of the Condé Nast and then Hearst groups (and by brands such as Louis Vuitton, Bruno Magli, Testoni) – starting since 2011 he has concentrated his visual research on Food, a sector in which he loses his technical sectoriality and finds a stylistic synthesis between still life, architecture, reportage and portrait. The definition of Giulio Di Mauro’s style took place mainly thanks to the technical background of still life, which he has always loved to carry on his shoulder, as shown by the numerous recent publications for Feltrinelli, Gribaudo, Giunti and Newton Compton. The white backdrop (used for the reproduction of accessories as well as works of art) has itself become part of his language: a non-place of the soul, a mental space that reveals the fetishism of goods and amplifies their desirability, which allows you to take commercial still life out of the studio and out of the box.
