It comes with one of Secchiaroli's photobooks with a handwritten statement, that he used the Leica MP 368 for many years and also for his work on the set of Fellini's La Dolce Vita. The “grandfather of all paparazzi,” as Tazio Secchiaroli is often called, worked his way up from street reporter to star photographer and star portraitist in Cinecittà. From the time De Sica’s “Marriage Italian Style” with Sophia Loren celebrated its first success, Secchiaroli accompanied the actress in her professional and private life till his death in 1989. Secchiaroli was also photographer and friend to Federico Fellini who ensured the former’s place in history with the film “La Dolce Vita” (1960).
