Biography

Born in Meolo, Venice, Roiter graduated as a chemist, but from 1947 he devoted himself to photography, being professionally active since 1953.[1] After several reportages for some magazines, in 1954 he published his first photographic book, Venise a fleur d'eau.[1][2] In 1956 Roiter won the second edition of the Prix Nadar with the book Ombrie. Terre de Saint-François.[1][2]

During his career, Roiter released about one hundred photographic books.[3] After his death, his daughter Jessica decided to establish a foundation to preserve and promote the photographer's artistic legacy. The Fulvio Roiter Foundation has the task of disseminating and promoting the works that tell the story of a life dedicated to photography, as well as rediscovering Roiter's works and his unpublished works.[4]
