Tullio Farabola was one of the first Italian photojournalists. Son of an artist (his father specialized in photo-portraits), he was born in Milan on 8 October 1920 and, after the officers\' school, he enlisted in the army. In 1942 he was transferred to the Istituto Luce in Rome and here he met Adolfo Porry Pastorel, who became a teacher for him, as well as a role model. Back in Milan at the end of the war, he founded his own agency. In the early post-war years he told of the difficulties of the city exhausted by bombing and hunger, poverty, the black market, the attack on Togliatti and then the return to life of the citizens, the first open-air dances, the people who bathroom in Navigli. In short, the agency became one of the best known in the country and collaborated with the main dailies and weeklies.
Farabola he soon favored the agency\'s activity over that of photojournalist, and concentrated on photographs in the studio, creating black & white portraits of personalities from the world of culture and entertainment and photos for the covers of the most popular weeklies of the vintage and vinyl records. In the 50s and 60s, for a character from the world of entertainment, art or sport, passing by Farabola for a photo shoot was a confirmation of success.
At the same time Farabola dedicated himself to giving shape to the Historical Archive. Initially due to the need to order the photos that remained in the agency because they were unsold. Then, on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the beginning of World War II , in 1960, the print began to be interested in images of fascism and war. Farabola he thus integrated the archive with acquisitions of material from other archives.
Tullio Farabola died in Milan on 11 December 1983. The agency he founded has continued and continues to operate, and its activity today is aimed at the recovery, conservation and digitization of the great heritage of negatives, slides and prints that it has kept since then.
- What we sell
What we sellThese photographs come from the agency that Tullio Farabola founded in Milan at the end of World War II . Before the advent of digital, agents went around the editorial offices every day with these prints, leaving them for journalists to view for publication in the following days. And the Farabola agency was then one of the most important.
Today part of these prints is intended to supplement the archive of negatives and slides. But many of these photographs no longer have any use for archival purposes, either because we possess the intact negative, or because they have already been digitized, or because they come from other archives with which the agency used to exchange images. Each vintage photograph is a unique copy, negative prints made between the 50s and 2000s. They all come from Farabola archive. On the back of the photographs there are always the stamps of the agency, sometimes captions, or the stamp of the photographer.
Each vintage photograph tells a small piece of the Italian twentieth century and beyond. They have been stored for years, ended up in newspapers, magazines and books, sometimes displayed in exhibitions and museums, they debuted as topical photographs and today they are memorabilia loved by collectors but also by history buffs.
