[Origami] MUSEO DEL ORIGAMI VIDEOLIBRARY - Giuseppe Baggi, a "paper globertrotter"

[Laura R]

GIUSEPPE BAGGI (1914-1972), A PAPER GLOBERTROTTER

Giuseppe "Peppino" Baggi was one of the many endearing characters that colored 
the initial times of modern origami, back in the 1950s. He was a bohemian, an 
adventurer, an eccentric who had been born in Italy and became a globetrotter, 
traveling the world, sometimes sleeping in the street, sometimes in seedy 
pensions. 

Our friend Mick Guy, from the British Origami Society, kindly lent his voice to 
record a chronicle on Baggi that was published in the New York Times in 
February 1959. The video features cut-outs from the museum collection and 
archival images.

(For the first part in Spanish, turn on English Subtitles in the YouTube video 
settings. The rest is Mick’s voice, of course in English)
