Photographer David Lees, who illustrated decades of Italian history through hundreds of pictures for Life magazine, has died at the age of 86. He died Saturday at a hospital in Florence where he lived.
Lees started collaborating with Life after World War II. Throughout his career, he immortalized big events — such as the elections of popes, political votes, archaeology and art projects — and everyday stories. In 1951, he covered the wedding of an Italian girl in the southern Italian village of Passiano with a wartime American boyfriend. Fifteen years later, he documented the floods that devastated Florence.
