The collection consists of photographs, papers, and publications that document the work of Italian photojournalist Fausto Giaccone (1943-), from 1966 to 2013. The material includes Giaccone's reportage of social and cultural aspects of Europe, South America, and the Middle East, with an emphasis on political movements in Italy and Portugal from 1966 to 1986. The photographic materials in this collection consist of exhibition prints, work prints, contact sheets, and original slides for fifteen photo journalism assignments; prints for three exhibitions; and slides and work prints for two books, as well as a portfolio of color prints. The papers largely document the production of the book Una storia portoghese (Palermo: Randazzo, 1987), and include clippings and exhibition reviews. The papers also include exhibition catalogs, publications, and publicity material produced for various projects. Some of Giaccone's publications are also included with the collection.
