Marcello Geppetti

Who is Marcello Geppetti?

Marcello Geppetti was an Italian photographer.

This is how David Schonauer, the editor in chief of American Photo magazine, described Marcello Geppetti in 1997 during an exhibition at New York's Robert Miller Gallery. The New York Times and Newsweek compare him to Cartier-Bresson and Weegee.

Two of his shots were considered among the thirty most famous photos and his name appears next to those of Andy Warhol and Cecil Beaton.

Nevertheless, the archive of over a million photographs by Marcello Geppetti has remained largely unexplored and only a small part of its cultural and artistic potential has been exploited. This prompted the heirs to begin in 2010 a systematic rearranging of the archive.
