Fulvio Roiter
(b Meolo, nr Venice, 1 Nov 1926). Italian photographer. A self-taught photographer, he began taking pictures as an amateur in 1947. From 1948 he was a member of La Gondola photographic club, founded in Venice by Paolo Monti with the aim of promoting more penetrating research into photographic aesthetics. In 1953 he became professional and produced his first
photographic book on Venice, Venise à fleur d'eau, establishing his international reputation. In 1956 he was awarded the Prix Nadar for his book Ombrie, terre de Saint-François (Lausanne, 1955). Also around this time he began travelling throughout the world, producing a large number of photographic books of great iconographic potency. In 1977 his work Essere Venezia (Udine, 1977) became one of the major best-sellers of its kind. Roiter used photography to render visible an intangible, archaic reality, thus revealing a kind of beauty unpolluted by the contemporary world.
