Summary

La Strada is an outstanding catalogue of Italian street photographs from the 1960's. Works from the private collection of Keith de Lellis exhibit the new renaissance of post-WWII Italy. These works show the influence of the established street photography from photojournalists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, W Eugene Smith and Robert Frank. These influences are projected on to an Italian landscape here and represent photography that is quite unique and beautiful.

0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome back to the show. In this video we are going to talk about
0:03.6	Italian Street photography from the 1960s. And a lot of what I'm going to show you today is taken from this
