50 years after they were shot, Italian photographer Paolo Di Paolo’s documentary-style images are part of a retrospective supported by Gucci.
About 20 years ago, Silvia Di Paolo discovered a trunk containing 2,50,000 negatives, prints, and slides in her father’s cellar. Soon after, she discovered that her father, Paolo Di Paolo, had actually been a star photographer at Il Mondo, a popular Italian current affairs magazine in the ’50s and ’60s.
