A tribute to fashion photography, the exhibition presented at the Forni Gallery in Bologna, collects about thirty black and white, medium-size images that revamp the photographer’s career, begun in 1964 and developed alongside the greats of Italian fashion by Valentino to Versace, from Armani to Ferrè.
The exhibition ranges from portraits to protagonists of the 1960s such as Audrey Hepburn in his famous shot made in Rome in 1969 for Valentino, up to more recent photographs such as Monica Bellucci for Dolce & Gabbana taken in 2000.
