Rediscover postwar Italy through the eyes of one of its preeminent photographers, largely unknown outside of Italy
Paolo Di Paolo (1925–2023) was an extraordinary chronicler of postwar Italy and the pride of his country. Marking the 100th anniversary of his birth, this volume reintroduces his work to global audiences. Previously largely nameless, he was the best-loved photographer of Mario Pannunzio's Il Mondo, in which he published 573 pictures over the course of 14 years, one of the most regular contributors to the weekly Tempoand occasional travel partner of Pier Paolo Pasolini. He portrayed stars of the cinema, writers, artists, members of the nobility, intellectuals and ordinary folk. Now, a century after the artist's birth, Silvia Di Paolo has gone back through her father's archives and, together with Giovanna Calvenzi, curated a new vision of his work with over 300 images that give an account of a surprising and largely unknown career.
