"Massimo Listri - Photographs", Royal Palace, Milan, 22 January 2008 (unknown edition number exhibited)

Based in Florence, Massimo Listri is a photographer who has created works that document the grand classical and baroque interiors of Europe. In his photographs of chateaux, abandoned houses, libraries, cathedrals, and theatres, he symmetrically composes the space, using the perspective of the architecture to lead the eye into the framed pictorial space resulting in a balanced and harmonious composition. He manages to create a sense of
serenity as well as awe, while celebrating the intricacy of grand architecture. He has published over fifty books on art and architecture and was one of the founding members of the influential FMR Magazine.
