About
In 1956, a 28-year old William Klein arrived in Rome, fresh from the debut of his now classic monograph "Life Is Good & Good for You in New York," to assist Federico Fellini on his film "Nights of Cabiria." Filming was delayed, and so Klein instead strolled about the city in the company of Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Alberto Moravia and other avant-garde Italian writers and artists who served as his guides. It was on these walks that "Rome," a pioneering and brilliant visual diary of the city, was born.
