BABILONIA SPECIALE FOTO ~ Italian Magazine published byBabilonia Edizioni. BABILONIA SPECIALE FOTO ~ Italian Magazine published by Babilonia Edizioni This issue features the photography of the photographer Pino Pellegrino . IMPORTANT NOTE: I really cannot tell you very much about this magazine & issue because it's all an Italian, and this particular title - Babilonia Speciale Foto -- pretty much is entirely photos with no information of year or anything. What information I have is that which I have researched. And that information has been conflicting....!! This issue's photographer was Pino Pellegrino (born Giuseppe Pellegrino in 1952), a prominent Italian figure primarily known as a casting director and screenwriter, though his early career in the late 1980s and early 1990s involved photography for publications like Babilonia . His work often features a balance between raw, direct portraiture and a stylized "Latin Lover" aesthetic. As the "Latin Lovers" title suggests, Pellegrino’s work focused on romanticizing the Italian male archetype, often using local models in casual or outdoor settings.
