John Wayne in Rome, 1965

Description

Marcello Geppetti photographs an elegant John Wayne while walking in Piazza Esedra through the crowd of passers-by. We are in Rome in August of 1965 and the Geppetti shots testify how easy it was, in those years, to meet international actors in the streets of the capital.

Best known for his western movies, John Wayne, he identified himself in the hero’s role without blemish and fearless, rough but generous, just as we see by the click of Geppetti. An impressive and flashy man who jokes and laughs with the people in one of his Roman holiday.
