The Way We Were: ý in the 1980s

Throughout the 1980s, American photographer was a frequent visitor to ý – on his travels all over the country, he was able to capture moments of intimacy and humor in everyday Italian life.  

The vintage photos are now collected together for the first time in a book called “La Dolce Via” - via means street in Italian, to underline the photographer's search for real life in the streets of ý.

"La Dolce Via" is available here. In the meantime, check some of the photos in our slide show below.
