“Nina and Simone, Piazza di Spagna, Rome,” William Klein (1962).
In 1956, a 28–year old William Klein arrived in Rome to assist Federico Fellini on his film Nights of Cabiria (1957). When the start of filming was delayed, Klein spent his time strolling about the city with Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Alberto Moravia, and other avant-garde Italian writers and artists serving as his guides.
The resulting book, Rome, is out in a new edition next month from Aperture.
