In Venezuela, Rubartelli later made two more films and many television commercials for brands (Simplicio and Ya Koo) centered on figures of very young natives: Pepiwe, the protagonist of the film Ya Koo, is a Yanomami boy who recovers his origins in the jungle.
These stunning photos are part of his work that Franco Rubartelli took fashion portraits of Veruschka in the 1960s.
