“It has been a thrill as well as a challenge to work through my archive of more than fifty years of photography, appreciating quite how many incredible people I have had the privilege to meet, spend time with and photograph. The process brought back many amusing memories and I hope the anecdotes and stories offer a small window into the lives and times of some of the artists in the book. When asked to describe an extraordinary photographic life combining my love of music and photography, I have said
It’s been a fantastic ride…”
– Michael Putland.

“Cinema is the strongest weapon.”

This is the prophecy, materialized on a huge banner, that presided over the inauguration, on April 28, 1937, of Cinecittà, the “city of cinema” wanted by Benito Mussolini. Before becoming the mythical “factory of dreams” that makes the imaginations of the whole world crackle, where an essential part of the history of cinema was
written, Cinecittà was conceived as the centerpiece of a war machine. A megalomaniacal project born out of the fascist utopia whose shadow still hangs over the building’s
