Dolce Via Nova - Early 1980s. From Milan to Marsala, Charles H. Traub paints an
ironic and spontaneous portrait of an Italy that we cannot say today if it ever really
existed. The frank gaze of the American photographer immediately captures the
peculiarities of the Bel Paese: the laziness, the unbearable and marvellous weight of
history, the warm light of the countryside and the bright light of the sea, the carefree
and delightful life of the provinces. The bright blues, reds and yellows swallow up the
poses and movements of the strangers, transformed into affectionate archetypal
caricatures, because Traub has the work of another great master in mind: Federico
Fellini.
