Susan Sontag is not only the author of one of the most important essays about photography, but also the protagonist, together with her son, of an eloquent and wonderful portrait. The third and final tale of Chronorama starts from here, and then recounts the 1960s and 70s through the portraits of Federico Fellini and his wife Giulietta Masina, of a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, and of lesser known figures such as the fifteen-year-old actor Björn Andrésen. The last photo mentioned in Chronorama is by Irving Penn, dedicated to an apparently dull subject: two old and worn cigarette butts.
