A few years ago I tried to buy this book but without success. It was listed on an Italian site but it was an error and the title is no longer available. It was quite expensive (about 80 euros) but contains 318 pages and although I've not seen a copy, some of the photos look interesting.Title: C'era una volta in America : photographic memories : un film di Sergio LeoneAuthor: Marcello GarofaloPublisher: Editalia First published in 1988 (100 euros)In Italian318 pages with lots of photosOut of printIt's rare but second hand copies are advertised from time to time.

The book is basically a collection of photos taken by Angelo Novi the OUATIA set photographer (black and white & colour) some of the photos I had seen before - others I hadn't. There is also a few original 1920's/30's black & white photos which i think Leone used for research purposes.
Novecento there is an interesting photo of Edward G Robinson in Little Ceasar - it's the iconic photo of EGR wounded holding his arm with a shop window riddled with bullet holes in the background - beside that photo is a photo of Leone on the Montreal/Joe ambush set - he is inspecting the car window which is also riddled with bullet holes and is obviously a replication/nod to Little Ceasar. Another interesting one is a photo of Noodles in a theatre audience (again in Montreal) where he is watching Deborah/1933 perform her (cut) Busby Berkeley routine.
I have this book if anyone would like me to upload some pictures?!?
