Following the success of his book of photographs on New York, in 1956 a young William Klein (painter, graphic artist and photographer), arrived in Rome to assist Federico Fellini in the direction of the film Nights of Cabiria (1957). Taking advantages of a delay in the shooting starting, Klein with his camera, strolled about the city with Fellini, Pasolini, Flaiano, Moravia, and other avant-garde Italian writers and artists serving as his guides. The young American photographer captured the magical atmosphere of the Fifties, depicting a new powerful photographic fresco of Rome.
