The Cinema of Paolo Sorrentino in the photographs of Gianni Fiorito Gianni Fiorito was born in Naples in 1959.
Since 1980 he has been working as a photojournalist with particular attention to the complex Neapolitan reality, documenting, among other things, the camorristic phenomenon and widespread illegality, the social and urban reality of the suburbs, the decommissioning of the contemporary city and the transformation of the urban landscape. In the '80s he collaborates with the theatrical group "Falso Movimento" directed by Mario Martone; he founds and participates to the association of artists "Idra Duarte". Since 1990 he is enrolled in the Order of Journalists, beginning a continuous collaboration with La Repubblica and later with Il Corriere della Sera, he produces reportages from Italy and abroad for major national newspapers.
