This series of photos were taken by American photographer Lester Gediman “when I went back to Florence in 1958-59 to work at SMA, a Florentine radar company. They were made during siesta long lunch hours or weekends in Florence and surrounding towns.”
“A few were taken in Spoleto during the 2nd Festival of Two Worlds in summer of 1959 and at the Milan Trade Fair the same year.”
“My wife, Claudia, and our son, Marc, are seen at the end of the set.”
