Claudio has been interested in photography since childhood and dreamed of becoming an outstanding person in this field. Of course, like any aspiring photographer, he was attracted by the world fashion capital – Milan. There were more opportunities and higher fees. He managed to move there in the early 80s, but he did not stay in one place for long and traveled a lot.
He met the young and beautiful Monica in 1987 at a beach photo shoot in Milan. Bellucci says that this shoot was significant for her, because it was the first time she fell head over heels in love. After dating for only two years, the young people decided to get married. At the time of the marriage, she was 25 and he was 30 years old. The celebration died down in Monte Carlo in January 1990.

Entering into her first legal relationship, the Italian beauty dreamed of endless love until old age. But, alas, the first pancake turned out to be lumpy. Despite the fact that the couple filed for divorce after four whole years, Monica herself assures that love lasted only six months. “This marriage was a huge mistake and an unfortunate disappointment ,” she said.
What is the actress’s first husband doing now?
30 years have passed since then, and Claudio Basso is still passionate about photography. True, after many years of working as a commercial photographer in the fashion industry, he decided to change his vector. Now his lenses capture exclusively the beauty of nature, which he frames in black and white.

“If you paint the world in black and white, all that remains are shapes and shades of gray. Thanks to the absence of distracting elements, I easily immerse myself in a deep emotional state and feel the energy of nature through photography. Her beauty is amazing ,” admits Claudio.
