la dolce vita is only left streaming through the weekend.
The character of Paparazzo, the news photographer (played by Walter Santesso) who works with Marcello, is the origin of the word paparazzi used in many languages to describe intrusive photographers.[32]The character of 'Paparazzo' is inspired by photojournalists Tazio Secchiaroli and Marcello Geppetti.[33]. As to the origin of the character's name itself, Fellini scholar Peter Bondanella argues that although "it is indeed an Italian family name, the word is probably a corruption of the word papataceo, a large and bothersome mosquito. Ennio Flaiano, the film's co-screenwriter and creator of Paparazzo, reports that he took the name from a character in a novel by George Gissing."[34] Gissing's character, Signor Paparazzo, is found in his travel book, By the Ionian Sea (1901).[6]
i found this pretty informative. though not universally well thought of.
