Alessandro Mencarelli (Serravalle Pistoiese, IT, 1956) is a criminal lawyer and artist. The point of departure for his photographic works is what surrounds him and impinges upon his life, especially his working life, and which also forms the background to his everyday existence.
He lives and works in Pistoia.
