Paparazzi: Photographers and Stars: From the Dolce Vita to the Present

This volume travels through the history and legend of the “paparazzi,” a phenomenon born in Rome during the 1950s and ’60s, when the city was considered “Hollywood on the Tiber River.” Hastily captured shots of the protagonists of that season—the divas and stars of the silver screen and the denizens of the Via Veneto—make up Paparazzi, a riotous celebration of the glamorous underworld of celebrity photography, and the snapshot aesthetic it helped promote.
