A superb submission from a kind reader who sent me a message this week, sharing not only the gorgeous photograph above, but also a much-appreciated piece of information to add to a previous post featuring one of the same models : the beautiful young man is named Pasqualino, and he sat regularly for Wilhelm von Gloeden, for over a decade.His companion here is Francesco, the pair standing decorously draped and elegant in the old St. Domenico former convent of Taormina. Is it not a joy to know both their names, such a small snippet of information and yet it makes such a difference!Thank you, sir, for a wonderful addition to the collection here. -- source link
