CIRO PETRONE “LIL’PEA” Street vendor Actor, model Edition of 10 Year: 2009 Material: Giclee print Size: 84,1 x 118.9 cm I have always worked, since I was a kid. I wake up in the morning around 4 am and at 5 am me and my brothers are already at the vegetable market to collect the stock. We live in Montesanto, in the heart of Naples, where we have greengrocers. I finish work around 5pm, take a shower and go out. Since I have played in Gomorrah people recognize me in the streets, they stop me to take a picture together...it’s great, I can’t deny it, it’s great to be famous. Let’s hope it will last, that one day to be an actor will be my trade, not selling veg. A month ago I got called by Bruce Weber, the Photographer. He flew me to London and then New York. We took some pictures and a short video. He has a studio and so many people working for him even more than I saw working on the set of Gomorrah. He really is a VIP. He took some fashion pictures. Nowadays beautiful boys are no longer in fashion, they need smart boys, street wise, good with girls not just with fashion. Someone like me.

Mario Guarino moves to London in 2000 at the age of 22 from Italy to study advertising and mass communication at London College. After meeting art photographer Patrick Gorman he starts a course in photography at the Kensington & Chelsea College where subsequently he becomes Patrick's first assistant on a series of high profile assignments. Follows a period of apprenticeship and having assisted a range of international fashion photographers he makes the leap into becoming a free lance photographer with a first publication for The Face magazine. In the following years Mario works on editorial shoots and advertising campaigns for new and established fashion designers gaining the opportunity of travelling extensively and collaborating with a range of international clients in London, Moscow, Milan, Paris,Berlin and Copenhagen. In 2008 his first solo show is inaugurated in Shoreditch, East London at the Maverick Gallery with "Feminal" a controversial personal project on studies of the female body, Identity and Personality which attracted attention well beyond his entourage and a documentary for Sky Italy was shot during the preparation of the event. After that experience, while still shooting fashion, Mario becomes more and more focused on his personal portrait production which leads in 2009 to a collaboration with Bronx Productions to shoot a portraits project of real life Mafia Gangsters turned into actors with the Oscar and Golden Globe nominated movie Gomorrah. The work is based on a series of still photographs and recordings of on set conversations between Mario and the Actors which form a mixed media installation that will be shown in Italy later this year. Mario currently lives and works in London. www.marioguarino.com www.artipolis.com/marioguarino
