Committed to Excellence
Mantovani is a London-based creative agency, founded by award-winning filmmaker and photographer Giacomo Mantovani.
About Giacomo Mantovani
Giacomo Mantovani is a renowed filmmaker, director, and photographer. Originally from Capri, Italy, he moved to London in 2009 to build his career in the commercial sector. After years of producing work for well-known clients such as Rio Tinto, OnePlus, Logitech, Nokia, and Expedia, Giacomo founded his creative agency, Mantovani Ltd.
Outside the commercial arena, Giacomo is dedicated to documenting social and environmental causes, producing acclaimed short films such as Plastic Garbage – Scourge of the Seas and Lightning, both shot entirely on smartphones. This has made him an ambassador for mobile filmmaking, leading panels and masterclasses worldwide.
In 2023, Giacomo's single edition print from his project LCKDN20 became part of the National Gallery’s collection, with further museum acquisitions expected in the coming years.

LCKDN20
LCKDN20 is a comprehensive documentation of the empty streets of London during the COVID-19 pandemic, captured on medium format film and hand-printed on fibre base paper, by award-winning filmmaker and photographer Giacomo Mantovani.
Part of the collection is being donated to museums to ensure it is preserved for future generations. In that regard, the single edition print ‘LCKDN20 - National Gallery F04’ is now housed at the National Gallery.
The Director of the National Gallery, Gabriele Finaldi, described the print as “an image of great elegance and poignancy“ that '“documents an important time in the life of the Gallery and in the history of London.” Finaldi further praised LCKDN20 as “an extraordinary photographic project, which is both aesthetic and documentary.”
