ABOUT ME
Michele Di Mauro
Avevo 3 o 4 anni. Viaggiavo sul sedile posteriore dell’automobile dei miei genitori, di ritorno da casa dei nonni. Guardavo le auto che ci seguivano. All’epoca i fanali erano tondi o quadrati, c’era poco da scegliere. Eppure, nella notte, solo studiando sagome e proporzioni, riuscivo a indovinare quasi tutti i modelli.
È uno dei miei primi ricordi, e forse è quello che, meglio di qualsiasi altra cosa, descrive la mia passione innata per le forme, le proporzioni, la grafica. E, ovviamente, le automobili.
È quindi frutto di un disegno del destino se, oggi, queste due passioni si sono fuse in una professione che unisce 25 anni di esperienza nella comunicazione, nella fotografia e nelle arti figurative, con l’amore per l’auto, che coltivo in me da quasi il doppio.
I was 3 or 4 years old. I was traveling in the back seat of my parents’ car, returning from my grandparents' house. I was looking at the cars following us. At the time, the headlights were round or square, there was very little to choose from. Yet, in the night, only by studying shapes and proportions, I could guess almost all the car models.
This is one of my earliest memories, and perhaps it’s the one that describes better my innate passion for shapes, proportions, graphics. And, of course, cars.
It’s therefore a design of destiny if, today, these two passions have merged into a profession that combines 25 years of experience in communication, photography and visual arts, with the love for cars, which I cultivate in me by almost double.
