To mark the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death, Florence’s Museo Salvatore Ferragamo is releasing a book full of iconic and never-before-seen images of the star, to accompany an exhibit in her honor. Monroe was a loyal Ferragamo customer— she owned dozens of pairs of the designer’s shoes and is credited with making his four-inch-heel pumps famous.
Monroe’s footwear and 50 of her outfits are on display at the museum, but the book chronicles her day-to-day life. Click ahead to see her at age 3, with husbands Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller, at various photo shoots, and holding her dog Maf Honey before the book, edited by Stefania Ricci and Sergio Risaliti, hits shelves September 25.
