City Life Photography is the home site of Brooklyn-based photographer and visual artist Mauro Clerici.
Mauro was Born and raised near Milan, in a small city called Vigevano, where shoe makers and talented artisans thrived until the early nineties when globalization and Made in China made it very difficult to stay competitive. Since 1997, Mauro has been living between New York and London, and visiting extensively Europe, and North America. Thanks to his latest project Provocative Nation, Mauro was able just recently to travel across 26 states during a 2-month car trip across the nation to document American people and how they cope with sustainability.
