How did the paparazzi get their name? Who knows?

In 1960 and 1963, Italian director federico fellini made the films Life is Sweet and 8? Otto e Mezzo created a character named Paparazzo, who is a journalist who specializes in photographing the privacy of celebrities. Since then, "paparazzi" has become the image of people who specialize in searching the private lives of celebrities. The official translation name should be "Tracking Photography Team". The Chinese translation of "paparazzi" was initiated by Hong Kong people. After the word "paparazzi" was introduced into Hong Kong, Hong Kong people renamed paparazzi Puppy. On the one hand, the pronunciation is similar, on the other hand, the tracking behavior of such journalists is similar to that of dogs. Then the word gradually evolved into "paparazzi" and spread to Taiwan Province Province and other Chinese-speaking areas. In the 1950s, plainclothes criminal investigators in Hong Kong were good at tracking cases through investigation and eavesdropping, and were called "puppy teams". After this investigation and tracking method was carried forward by Hong Kong journalists, it was called "paparazzi". Paparazzi comes from the word paparazzi, which comes from Italian photographer SignorPaparazzo. In the late 1950s, editors of newspapers and magazines were tired of "model" photos taken by celebrities in the studio. SignorPaparazzo and his colleagues secretly filmed the privacy of celebrities, mainly in ViaVeneto, a famous Roman teahouse frequented by dignitaries, and successfully photographed the table overturned by exiled Egyptian King Farouk on the Veneto Avenue in Rome. Married actors and young female stars were fooling around and punching photographers, which was very popular. At that time, film director Ferini made a film about it, telling the story of paparazzi and a frustrated tabloid reporter. Because of the fresh theme, the box office of the movie sold to a full house, and the word paparazzi became a household name, which became synonymous with the way of tracking candid photos.
