EXTREM BEAUTIFUL, WIDELY UNKNOWN, HIGHLY UNDERRATED CATALOGUE BOOK - by Italian photographer Dino Pedriali (1950-2021) who lived and worked in Rome. VERY RARE. "Square format, medium size, unpaginated. A very early German catalog about the homo subculture of Roman boys, most photographs taken at night. A very quiet, almost old-fashioned monograph—restrained, with hints of suffering and violence." - Ulf Erdmann-Ziegler - The subjects of Dino Pedriali were the male nude as well as portraits. His work was compared by art critic Peter Weiermair during the retrospective "Nudi e Ritratti — Fotografie dal 1974/2003" to Caravaggio's because he similarly focused on the artistic elevation of people from the working class. Photographed by Dino Pedriali were people like Giacomo Manzù, Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Moravia, Federico Fellini, Rudolf Nureyev, Andy Warhol, Man Ray, and Pier Paolo Pasolini, whom he photographed shortly before Pasolini's 1975 death.
