Franco Maria Ricci
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franco Maria Ricci (born December 2, 1937) is an Italian publisher. Among his publication is FMR, an art magazine published six times yearly in Italian, English, German, French and Spanish, based in Milan, Italy.
The first issue of FMR was published in 1982. "FMR" stands for the publisher's initials that once pronounced in French, it appears to read ephémère (transitory). Praised by critics as "the most beautiful magazine in the world", it acts as a model for perfection, presenting noteworthy iconological and art historical studies without being pedantic. It is known for its magnificent, large photographs, and exquisite drawings, faithfully reproduced on a black background.
The Franco Maria Ricci Editori, a division of the publishing house, published some of Guido Crepax's books.
