Paolo Costa, was born in Lugo di Ravenna, Italy, in 1917. He studied political science and philosophy at the Universities of Bologna and Venice. After working as a journalist for ten years, he began his career as a photographer in 1951.
Gradually, Costa became a sought-after photographer for celebrities, with nearly every figure of prominence and fame having their portrait taken by him. His subjects included Claudia Cardinale, Gina Lollobrigida, Brigitte Bardot, Anna Magnani, Marcello Mastroianni, Federico Fellini, Henry Fonda, Luciano Pavarotti and many others.
The Archivio Paolo Costa is managed by his daughter Alexandra Pfründer. Inheriting his extensive photographic collection is a meticulous task of cataloging and digitizing the archive. Gallery Clara Maria Sels is looking forward to this new cooperation.
