About Paolo Della Corte

I was born in Venice and I still live there, although my work often takes me across Italy and to other countries.
 I graduated from the Ca' Foscari University in Venice with a degree in Art History, but I was soon drawn to professional photography, specializing in portraits and cultural reporting.
Currently i'm teacher in Digital Photography at the ACADEMY of fine art in venice
At the Venice Biennale Art Exhibit an in New York I made portraits of some of the biggest international names: Louise Bourgeois, Jim Dine, Jannis Kounellis, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, George Segal, and the Italians Luciano Fabro, Mario Merz, Fabrizio Plessi, Emilio Vedova, and Giuliano Vangi. The photographs of writers that I am most fond of include: Doris Lessing, Günther Grass, Luis Sepulveda, Fulvio Tomizza, and Claudio Magris. 

Over five hundred artists and writers of undisputed renown appear in my archives. 

In New York, while shooting the portrait of pop artist George Segal, I met Stefano Bonill
