Over the years, Carlo Orsi has photographed numerous writers, intellectuals, and art critics. Among them are Jean Pierre Faye, Oriana Fallaci, Ettore Mo, Philippe Daverio, Salvatore Quasimodo, Federico Zeri, Gillo Dorfles, Arturo Schwarz, and many others—each captured in different moments and contexts, from the setting of Orsi’s studio to the intimacy of their homes, as well as in fragments of their everyday lives. Whether the photographs are the result of a carefully composed studio session or spontaneous snapshots, they reveal Orsi’s remarkable ability to grasp and convey the character of each subject through the photographic image.
His archive thus becomes a highly valuable record of the postwar cultural and artistic world—in which Orsi himself was deeply immersed and to which he has belonged.
