Life is sweet: Italy in the 80s

Beautiful and candid moments sing of the Italy of photographer Charles H. Traub, who in the 80s of the last century decided to immortalize our neighbor through a photographic lens. And how well he did it!

Photographer Charles H. Traub has recently issued a series of beautiful photos, named Dolce Vita, which take the viewer to Italy in the booming 80s of the last century.

With an American flair, Traub documented culture, fashion trends and lifestyle of Italians from Milan to Marsala. The photos are full of rich colors and expressive moments, according to the opinion By Howard Chua-Eoan, former editor news of the European edition Time magazine, the work is "sensual and sad, and it reflects the color, pleasure and majesty of its melancholy. This is the eternal nature of Italy, the authentic nature of every thing”.
Address of the Dolce Via series it couldn't be more fitting as dolce vita means sweet life, but Traub dropped one letter to emphasize the sweetness. Although he took the photos thirty years ago, are being shown to the public for the first time as a joint series Dolce Via: Italy in the 1980's in book form.
