The New York City of the great movies, that's what this black and white photograph will bring to mind. In "42nd Street, NYC 1955", the sun streams through a gap in the clouds and highlights the wax sheen of the classic cars and the hulk of the taxis. And all the while, the buildings stand sentinel over the population, like a protective father.
Mario de Biasi was a photographic journalist who, in 1955, was famed for his photographic images of Sardinia, where he worked with journalist and poet, Alfonso Gatto.
