 Paparazzo. It has a fascinating background as a word which I only learnt a
couple of weeks ago. It was apparently the name of the phographer
in Fellini's *La Dolce Vita.* He took it from the name of some other
character I can't remember in some 19th century book I think he was reading
at the time.
