Description
Roman Holiday
by Caroline Young
Rome in the 1950s: following the darkness of fascism and Nazi occupation during the Second World War, the city is reinvigorated. The street cafés and nightclubs are filled with movie stars and film directors as Hollywood productions flock to the city to film at Cinecittà Studios. Fiats and Vespas throng the streets, and the newly christened paparazzi mingle with tourists enjoying La Dolce Vita. It is a time of beauty, glamour – and scandal! Ava Gardner, Anna Magnani, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman and Elizabeth Taylor are among the icons discussed in this book. The story follows their lives and loves on and off the camera, and the legendary films that marked their journeys.
