Willy Rizzo (Naples, 1928). Considered the artist of the Dolce Vita, he was already a photographer's assistant in the world of cinema at the age of 16. For the French newspaper Point de Vue he made his first reportage documenting the Nuremberg Trials (1946-1947). He also works as a film artist taking care of the first Cannes Film Festival. In 1947 he went to New York for a job commissioned by the English agency Blockstar, so he had the opportunity to move to Los Angels where he could photograph movie stars up close.
