The Years of "Dolce Vita" During the years 50-60, Rome lived a period of splendour and became the Mecca of cinema. In the Cinecittà studios were filmed many movies and not only European, but also big American productions. The city was sheer joy, glamour and artistic effervescence."The years of la Dolce Vita", it reflects all the impetus of this unique phenomenon, full of authenticity, of improvisation of magic, passion and freedom.

Federico Fellini reflected this phenomenon in his film "La Dolce Vita" in 1960.
