La Scala photographer dies, at 75
RIPFriends have reported the death of Roberto Masotti, a fixture at La Scala rehearsals and performances for as long as anyone can remember, issuing his work with Silvia Lelli’s under the Lelli e Masotti name.
Ravenna born, Roberto also photographed more than 200 artists for ECM Records, mostly active in jazz. His breakrhtough cover album (below) was the first Italian release to sell a million LPs.
His brother Franco was artistic director of the Ravenna Festival,
A fine Photographer. I have a charming documentary; ‘Double Click’ all about Lelli and Masotti’s personal and Professional relationship on http://www.theartschannel.online
We’re about to celebrate our third birthday – lots of new stuff available soon.
This is sad news indeed. It was
always a pleasure to exchange a glance or a word. The photos are wonderful.
