Fiorenza first visited
Sicily in the late 1940s, then in the mid-1950s, Fiorenza and his wife traveled back to Italy; some of these photographs were reproduced in his self-published volume
Sicilian Town. In 1954 he won a Village Camera Club prize and in 1955 three of his Sicilian scenes were included in
Edward Steichen’s blockbuster
The Family of Man exhibition, one of them, a group portrait of a Sicilian family, was grouped with others in the central display, at the
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) which subsequently toured the world. His Sicilian photographs were shown again in 1967 at the
Lincoln Center as part of the Virtuosi di Roma-Vivaldi Festival. Fiorenza died after a short illness on March 23, 2015. ==References==
