Previously unpublished black-and-white photographs taken by Fabrizio Carbone during his stay in New York, capturing the vitality of the American way of life from an intimate and political perspective: the city and its inhabitants, whose symbols and languages would soon become universal icons. Carbone, then a correspondent for an Italian newspaper, spent a year in the city and resigned when the paper sided with the Vietnam war. The project was conceived by Michele Manfellotto.
