The photographer's skill is in bringing a new city back into the spotlight, one that is not bruised or wounded in any way. Instead, it suggests a time that is slowing down, not in efficiency but in ideas. The city is reflecting and making people think. Carlo Mari's lens also testifies to a presence that is discreet but ever-present: the carabinieri, or police, who did not \"control\" the city during this very delicate phase but \"accompanied\" it through a painful and difficult time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarlo Mari is a photographer working in journalism and advertising. He has travelled around the world, above and below the seas, with his camera around his neck to tell stories. In the 1980s and '90s, he published photographic features and covers for the most prestigious marine magazines in Italy and abroad. Following this, he spent a long time documenting the wildlife of Eastern Africa and was a correspondent for \u003cem\u003eThe Harvill Press\u003c\/em\u003e in London. This collaboration led to two important books: \u003cem\u003eThe Great Migration\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePink Africa\u003c\/em\u003e.

He has travelled the world above and below the seas, with his camera around his neck, always to tell his story. Between the '80s and '90s, he published services and covers in the most prestigious Italian and foreign sea magazines. Afterwards, and for a long time, he documented the wild life of East Africa and was a correspondent for \"The Harvill Press\" in London. From this collaboration, two important volumes were produced: \u003ci\u003eThe Great Migration\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePink Africa\u003c\/i\u003e.

With Leonardo International, he realised in 2009 a book on Pope Benedict XVI on his visit to Montecassino Abbey. Connoisseurs know him for his refined FineArt prints in very limited editions, present in many private collections all over the world. In the last three years, the call of the sea has been so strong as to bring him back in search of ancient sensations. Sea and Africa: these are the ingredients to which he is dedicating himself to telling the story of life, fishing techniques, and traditions of fishermen in East Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455533433068,"sku":"9788857239989","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/61xFQgs8zqL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774779730"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/carlo-mari.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
