An example of the classic "American dream", Visalli arrived in the United States from Sicily in 1959.

He has worked on films with directors such as Federico Fellini and Lina Wertmuller and has photographed numerous celebrities and stars from the world of film, entertainment and the arts. Published on the covers and in the pages of the world's most prestigious dailies and periodicals, including Time, Europeo, The New York Times, Paris Match, Oggi and Stern, his photographs are a veritable voyage through time, a flow of historic events, famous faces and icons of our era that include six US presidents, actors, singers, directors, musicians and poets.
