1924 —
The Italian filmmaker and photographer Mario Carbone, born 1924 in Calabria, became involved with film from a very young age, learning skills from retouching to printing while taking portraits of newly married couples. As Italy transitioned into the post-fascist era, postwar art and photography took on a humanist, social documentarian bent. Across a long career, in which he also won a Silver Ribbon (Italy's oldest film award), Carbone has excelled both as a photographer and a director of photography in cinema. His photography has been exhibited at The Met in New York, and he continues to work today.
