In the heyday of Italian cinema, the last great works of classic Hollywood films were also produced in the Roman Cinecittà production studios. The import of the American star system led to the emergence of new professional fields for photographers. The Italian still photographer Pierluigi Praturlon, whose pictures promoted over 400 films, was also one of the pioneers of paparazzo photography. Gina Lollobrigida became a film star and sex symbol in the 1950s. She threw lavish parties in her sprawling villa on the Via Appia Antica. This was also the case on New Year's Eve in 1964, where she can be seen in this photo with Vittorio Gassman, Renato Ranucci and Claudia Cardinale.

Deutsch:

In der Glanzzeit des italienischen Kinos entstanden auch letzte große Werke des klassischen Hollywoodfilms in den römischen Cinecittà Produktionsstudios. Der Import des amerikanischen Starsystems führte zur Entstehung neuer Berufsfelder für Fotografen. Der italienische Standfotograf Pierluigi Praturlon, dessen Aufnahmen über 400 Filme bewarben, gehörte auch zu den Pionieren der Paparazzo-Fotografie. Gina Lollobrigida avancierte in den 1950ern zum Filmstar und Sexsymbol. In ihrer weitläufigen Villa an der Via Appia Antica veranstaltete sie prunkvolle Feste. So auch zu Silvester im Jahr 1964, wo sie auf dieser Aufnahme mit Vittorio Gassman, Renato Ranucci und Claudia Cardinale zu sehen ist.
