citylikeyou — Montecarotto / Roberto Calbucci

Roberto Calbucci is a painter and freelance graphic designer. After living in Milan and Tokyo, Roberto and his wife Meloni Mitchell (model/designer) decided to set up base for a while in the Italian countryside in a tiny village called Montecarotto, to concentrate on their projects. Roberto works independently as a painter, focusing on his research: science, nature, entropy, and order-chaos. The places below that he recommends for Citylikeyou are located near his small town.

Montecarotto / River

One of a series of rivers in the area, situated in the town of Genga (a 15 minute drive from Montecarotto, close to Grotte di Frasassi). When I was younger I liked to go there and draw, and think about the movement of the elements.

Montecarotto / Area

Montecarotto is located in the middle of the Marche hills, covered in nature, vegetation, and agricultural land. The surrounding area is famous for producing many products, mainly wine and olive oil.

Montecarotto / Place

This amazing and surreal cave is a great place to reflect about the relation between structure and time in nature, and the space between them.

Montecarotto / Beach

Mezzavalle is a semi-hidden bay located on the Ancona coast, about a 40 minute drive from Montecarotto. To arrive at the bay, it’s a 30 minute hike down the hill. In the winter it has a great atmosphere of emptiness and isolation, a good thinking/swimming spot.

Paris / Painter

Clément Mancini is a French contemporary artist who lives and works in Paris. After his studies in graphic arts, he moved to Lyon for 6 years where he developed a work of murals paintings in which abstraction took more and more importance. Close to his graffiti roots and to the energy that emanates from the street, he seeks to reinterpret in his works this energy mixing balance in compo- sition and movement, as in the treatment of line and texture. Now working mainly in his studio, he loves to shake up his painting prac- tice.and techniques, he describes his work as constantly evolving.
