Maurizio Nannucci was born in Florence in 1939, where he lives and works.
Since the mid '60s, he's been exploring the relationship among art, language and image, devoting himself to concrete art and to the visual poetry. In 1967, in his one-man show at the Centro Arte Viva in Trieste, he presented his first neon texts, highlighting the temporality of writing and the immateriality of objects. In 1968, he founded Exempla publishing house and Zona Archives Edizioni in Florence. He has participated in international artistic experiments together with Fluxus and Conceptualist artists, doing research on oral structures and the use of new media. With a coherent itinerary, his expressive research is still today based on light, color, shape and writing.

Among his recent neon installations are the ones presented at the Carpenter Center of Harvard University in Cambridge, at Parco della Musica Auditorium in Rome, at Fiumicino Airport in Rome, at Bibliothek des Deutschen Bundestages in Berlin, at Kunsthalle in Vienna, at the European Patent Office in Munich and at Villa Arson in Nice.
He has also participated in the Venice Biennial, in Documenta in Kassel and in other Biennials such as Sao Paulo, Sydney, Istanbul, Valencia. In 2004, one of his neon texts was exhibited in the garden of the Fondazione Peggy Guggenheim in Venice.

His relationship with Galleria Fumagalli began with the presentation of a work in the AAVV exhibition: 30. In February 2005, his one-man show will be presented in the new large rooms of Galleria Fumagalli, along with an extensive monograph on his work.
