These two proposals indicate as many stages in the path that Fulvio Roiter has taken, still focusing only on black and white before being attracted by color. The nude has an interesting story: being economically stunted at the beginning, instead of a model he photographs the very young girlfriend of the time with great skill and grace. The careful use of light that enhances the smooth body of the girl who, it will be noticed, never shows her face in a deliberate protection of the photographer for his model because posing for nude photographs in those years and in the provincial environment of the clerical Veneto could have represented real problems for her, if she had been recognized. In the seventies Fulvio Roiter was already an established photographer who traveled the world and, passionate about publishing as he had always been, he decided to put together the testimonies of his African acquaintances. To the publisher Electa, which created a series called Portfoli, he thus proposed twelve portraits made between 1973 and 1976 in Zaire, Ivory Coast, Tunisia, Niger and Mali where he emphasized similarities and diversity in the decorations that his subjects proudly exhibited.
