If you are curious to understand how it is that a woman of 57 years is still on the stage behind with 350 million albums sold worldwide , go to Bologna: here the story is told from the beginning of Our Lady. A photographic exhibition there explains how it all began and why 'who' s that girl "has managed to become the star we know. At the gallery Ono Contemporary Art " Madonna: the rise of a star " presents the work of three photographers who documented - sometimes so unconscious - the beginnings of the career of Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone: Peter Cunningham, George DuBose and Deborah Feingold (Thursday and until 10 January 2016, www.onoarte.com). It was they, in the months between 1981 and 1982, to capture Madonna-as-yet-not-was-Madonna: sixty shots , many in black and white and some in color, show us a young girl, just 24 years old, already uninhibited in front of the camera and on stage. "People do not know yet what I'm good, but they soon find out ", said Madonna in the early eighties. She had arrived in New York after leaving the university, he determined to make it as a dancer and singer but in fact is still arrabattava as a maid and handyman. In the fall of 1981, George DuBose , a good photographer of music, is sent to Long Island should resume a band performing in local clubs, especially the singer, some Madonna. The photographer did not really want, but he was impressed by the professionalism of the girl. Write down shots next to the many changes of clothes that Madonna already exploited as a distinctive sign . They spend a few months and the photographer, expert of nightlife in New York, finds Madonna in various clubs in Manhattan: singing and dancing on adjusted basis, accompanied by his brother and a dancer of color. In many the notice: hoarse voice, ways determined, a capacity to tread the stage uncommon and costumes that affect the public. They are decisive months: come 1982 and another major music photographer, the Canadian Peter Cunningham , has the task to carry out a photo shoot of this twenty year old who had attracted the attention of some music producers. The photographer is facing a fine singer who had just recorded a demo, but very navigated matter of image: Madonna arrives on the set with the makeup and the costumes. The cult piece of the service: a studded belt dangling until half leg . Was already "Madonna". Cunningham captures the potential that lies ahead and bring the singer off the set, between the streets of SoHo: Madonna and sudden leaving shots (like the ones you see in the gallery above) that have passed into history . Madonna pretending to be crucified in a garden, a nod Madonna , Madonna moving down the zipper of his pants in front of a church. Every change of clothes is a different character and on display in Bologna on Canadian photographer has also new works , found for the case only recently but dating back to that first, long and intense shooting. They spend a few weeks of service in SoHo and also Deborah Feingold , an expert in portraits of singers underground, Madonna called to his home for a service to be published for "Star Hits" They are color photos that you see in the gallery, built in the small kitchen of Feingold , arranged a photo shoot. Madonna had recorded the single Everybody , that was going well. White T-shirt, black suspenders, wrist bracelets, heavy makeup: a few months later, in July 1983, would have released his first album, "Madonna, five times platinum." The rest of the story we know.
