Farewell to Mario Mulas, among the great names in art, fashion and entertainment photography

Mario Mulas, brother of renowned photographer Ugo, has died at the age of 85 in Rimini, where he had recently moved. Also a photographer, capable of ranging from fashion to art, from design to entertainment, Mario Mulas had come to Rimini after living for a decade in the province of Pisa with his wife Eva Cozzolino Mulas, also a well-known photographer.

News of the passing was confirmed by Alessio Barbafieri, mayor of Lajatico and president of the Teatro del Silenzio, where the couple portrayed the many events, most notably Andrea Bocelli. “A citizen of our municipality for many years, Mario has been an indispensable resource for Lajatico and the Teatro del Silenzio,” Barbafieri wrote in a Facebook post. “His love for beauty, which he was willing and able to convey through his photographs and teachings, will remain in the hearts of all his fellow citizens. In addition to his art, he communicated to us the strength of his thoughts, always wise and measured, which made his company a time of great personal enrichment. Dear Mario, honored to have known you, we thank you for making us part of your life and greet you with great affection, in the certainty that your values will live forever in those who had the privilege of knowing you.”

“We remember with affection and gratitude Mario Mulas: the great master of photography but also the kind person, the brilliant artist who knew how to love and tell, together with Eva, his inseparable life partner and colleague, the beauty of Lajatico and the cultural challenge of the Theater of Silence. We carry, in our hearts, one of the absolute most beautiful shots that Mulas gave us, the one on the cover of the album ’Incanto’. Mario knew how to enhance the truth of people, capturing their naturalness. We have always appreciated his politeness, his gentlemanliness, his delicacy: an artist whose exceptional stature was also measured in his ability to ’not be heard,’ to take shots without perceiving his presence. We ideally thank Mario, for his long life in the service of art,” with these words Andrea Bocelli and his wife Veronica Berti remembered the photographer viaAdnkronos.

Born in Lonato (Brescia) in 1938, Mario Mulas arrived in Milan in 1957 to work as an assistant in the studio of his brother Ugo, with whom he worked for four years. He later became a stage photographer at the Piccolo Teatro, working with director Giorgio Strehler. In the 1960s he collaborated with L’Espresso. He then opened a studio that he directed toward the fields of advertising, industrial and fashion photography. He has edited advertising campaigns for many companies, such as Aquascutum, Olivetti, Ibm, Imec, Commodore, Nixdorf, Colette, Sip, and has also portrayed executives of large companies.
