Dolce vita confidential : Fellini, Loren, Pucci, paparazzi, and the swinging high life of 1950s Rome / Shawn Levy London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2018.
Call No: 79 DOL LEVAuthor: Levy, Shawn Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: Weidenfeld & NicolsonPubDate: 2018PhysDes: xxiii, 447 pages, 16 pages of unnumbered plates : Illustrations ; 20 cmSubject: DOLCE VITA, LA (FR/IT, Federico Fellini, 1960) ; CINECITTA FILM STUDIO ; ANTONIONI, MICHELANGELO ; DE LAURENTIIS, DINO ; DE SICA, VITTORIO ; EKBERG, ANITA ; FASHION AND THE CINEMA ; FELLINI, FEDERICO ; LOREN, SOPHIA ; MASTROIANNI, MARCELLO ; ROSSELLINI, ROBERTO ; VISCONTI, LUCHINO Summary: "From the ashes of war, the Eternal City is reborn as the epicentre of film, style, boldfaced libertinism and titillating journalism. It’s the heyday of fashion icons such as Pucci and Brioni, and the height of ‘Hollywood on the Tiber’, when a dizzying array of stars flock to Cinecittà, the huge movie studio on the outskirts of Rome. At the bars on Via Veneto the likes of Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor mix with blue bloods and bohemians, while behind them trail street photographers in pursuit of the most unflattering and dramatic portraits of fame. In a fast-paced, kaleidoscopic narrative, Shawn Levy shows how all roads lead to Federico Fellini’s world-conquering movie La Dolce Vita, starring Marcello Mastroianni and the Swedish bombshell Anita Ekberg. He recreates Rome’s stunning ascent with vivid and compelling tales of its glitterati and artists, down to every last outrageous detail of the city’s magnificent transformation." - taken from publisher's websiteNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781474606158Contents: 1.
