Uliano Lucas was born in Milan in 1942 from a labour family. He grew up during the civil and intellectual reconstruction that characterized Lombardy during the post-world war. He carried out his studies in renaissance boarding schools where teachers such as Luciano Raimondi, Albe Steiner or Guido Petter supported partisan children offering them the possibility to study. 17 year old Uliano was expelled from school as he was too undisciplined: curious and restless when he started to mix with artists, photographers, and journalists who all lived within the area of Brera. During his endless discussions with graphic designers, intellectuals and artisans of the old Milan-at Genis or Giamaica bars- as well as talking to the photographers Ugo Mulas, Mario Dondero and Alfa Castaldi, he decided to attempt photo-journalism. At this point, Uliano saw in photo-journalism a mean of civil commitment as well as an independent profession, free from constraint, the encouragement to discover different worlds later characterizing his whole existence. 

 During the beginning of his career he depicts working-class moments of his town, i.e. the life and presence of his fellow writers and painters – Enrico Castellani, Costantino Guenzi, Piero Manzoni and Arturo Vermi. He also draws a picture of musical and theatrical excitement: going from Tinin Mantegazza’s “Cab ’64” to rock groups such as Stormy Six and Ribelli. more here > http://www.ulianolucas.it/
