“ Born in a suburb of Rome, fashion photographer Alberto Rizzo (1931–2004) has a Hollywood connection. He trained as a ballet dancer and worked with Fred Astaire after his 1960 move to the U.S. Rizzo later became a photographer in New York, working for the big fashion magazines and designers.

Rizzo’s personal projects spanned still lifes of paper folded like ribbon candy and staged scenes reflecting Italian Neorealism.”

-Paul Martineau, curator of photographs at getty museum
