Through these unabashed portraits of the cult of celebrity we can revisit an Italy that was sensuous yet innocent, simple yet courageous, cosmopolitan yet insulated.This book is both a visually stunning tribute to largerthanlife personas and a unique reminiscence of a time when being bold and outrageous was to be at the height of fashion.
