Mario De Biasi was born in Belluno in 1923 but is Milanese by adoption. In 1948 he presented his first one-man show. In 1953 he turned professional, working for "Epoca", and over thirty years created hundreds of covers and countless reportages worldwide for the magazine. He has photographed revolutions and famous figures, unknown lands, volcanoes in eruption and white expanses of snow at the Pole with temperatures reaching minus sixty five degrees. Bruno Munari wrote of him: "The camera has become part of his anatomy, like his nose or eyes." For Indena he created in 2004 the photographic book "Fragments of Nature".
