Alfa Castaldi (1926-1995) was an Italian photographer. He began his photographic career in 1954, depicting the social life of his native Milan for Italian magazines, moving into fashion photography in the 60's, when he provided images for Novità (which became Vogue Italia in 1966), Linea Italiana, and Arianna. Castaldi married Anna Piaggi in New York in 1962. By 1969 he was one of the major contributors to Vogue Italia. At the end of the 60's, opening a studio in Milan, he expanded into advertising, creating campaigns for the likes of Giorgio Armani, Laura Biagiotti, Fendi, Gianfranco Ferré, Karl Lagerfield, and Ottavio and Rosita Missoni. His magazine coverage also expanded, with his work appearing in L'Uomo Vogue, Vanity, Vogue Bambini, Vogue Sposa, and, outside the Condé Nast Publications, Amica, Panorama, and L'Espresso.[1][2]
