[edit]Sebastiano Mauri was born in Milan to an Italian father and Argentinian mother. He is the nephew of Fabio Mauri, a prominent Italian multi-disciplinary artist.[1][2] At the age of 20, Sebastiano Mauri went to New York and enrolled at New York University to study cinematography. After graduation, he emerged as a short film director. Some of his movies have brought him prestigious accolades, such as the Warner Brothers Award and the Martin Scorsese Post-Production Award.[3] Mauri lived in Buenos Aires for several years before moving to London and enrolling at the Byam Shaw School to study art.[4] He was active as an artist and had dozens of personal exhibitions around the world.[5][6] In 2014, personals exhibitions of Mauri were opened at the Galleria Michela Rizzo in Venezian Giudecca and in Milan's La Otto Zoo.[7][4][8] A recurring theme in Mauri's work is the exposure of the mechanisms of discrimination inherent in human beings.[9]
In 2012 Mauri made his debut as a writer with the novel Goditi il problema, a well-received light-hearted novel about discovering one's own sexuality and the struggles it brings in relationship with the rest of the world.[10][11] His second writing effort, Il giorno più felice della mia vita, is an essay on same-sex marriage and why it is still a taboo in Italy. The book was published by Casa Editrice Rizzi in 2015.[12][13] In 2021, Mauri released his third book – La nuova terra, a partially autobiographical story about his travel to Amazonia.[3][14][15]
