Information
Vintage gelatin silver print
cm 23 x 17 | 9 x 6.7 in.
Photographer's credit blindstamp on the recto and dedicated and signed by Adriana Benetti in black felt pen on the image with photographer's credit stamp on the verso
In the Rome of cinema and theatre, Arturo Ghergo's studio stood alongside those of Elio Luxardo and Ghitta Carrell, who frequented actresses and actors to take portraits that they then used as presentations. Compared to his competitors Ghergo was the more classical, he did not use a spectacular lighting and he did not retouch the negatives Very intense is this portrait of the actress Adriana Benetti, who in the 1940s had been called 'the sweetheart of Italy' for her roles as an innocent girl. Today, only cinephiles recall the successes of an intense career that lasted about twenty years, while lovers of national costume and anthropology remember her as beautiful and smiling in "Tempo Illustrato".
