The mystery behind the word "paparazzi"

   Everyone knows the paparazzi chasing the celebrities to take a photo of them  in compromising situations, but the origins of this word are a mystery to many people. 

 Let's see where it comes from in fact. Before making the famous "La dolce vita", the italian film direcor,

Federico Fellini, came across the name of the calabrian hotel owner Coriolano Pararazzo while reading a guidebook. The filmmaker was so attracted by this name that he used it in his film from 1960. In his masterpiece, Paparazzo is a character armed with his camera that "hunts" italian celebrities on yachts.
