Vietnam War photos on display in Rome

Written by tuan on 2008/06/28 14:46
An exhibition featuring 120 photos about the Vietnam War by a deceased Italian photographer opened Wednesday in Rome, Italy.

Photographer Ennio Iacobucci was born in the region of Abruzzo, about 300 kilometers east of Rome, and began his career as a paparazzi photographer.

In the late 1960s, Iacobucci became a war photographer, spending seven years in the rice fields of Vietnam to capture vivid images of the Indochina conflict.

In those days, his photos were published by many important newspapers around the world.

He died impoverished in 1977.












The exhibition will run at the Museum of Rome until September 14.
