n urgent appeal has been launched to save a huge archive of
photographs depicting Venice in its post-war, Dolce Vita heyday, when
the Grand Canal and St Mark’s Square were frequented by the likes of
Paul Newman, Sean Connery, Ernest Hemingway and Sophia Loren.
The archive of more than 320,000 photographs, amassed by a now
defunct Italian photography agency called CameraPhoto, depicts world
leaders such as Winston Churchill and Pope John Paul II, as well as
artists such as Dali and Picasso and the American poet Ezra Pound.
