The title of this site is a homage to Italian lifestyle and comes from the legendary 3 hours movie "La dolce vita", filmed in Italy in 1959, by Federico Fellini, with that mythic actor called Marcello Mastroianni, and the girl coming to Italy from abroad... In the movie her name was Sylwia (Berlusconi :-), Anita Ekberg, as coming down from the Olympus, she represented the woman-Goddess celebrated in this site. Not only the expression "la dolce vita" comes from that movie, but also, for example, the name given to photographers, "paparazzi" :). Besides, "dolce vita" became the name of a kind of jersey. This movie caused a scandal for Church (and nobility), as today Da Vinci Code... In the kaleidoscope story Marcello (short name for "Marco" :) is a man who renounces to a career as a writer... The story conveys the love for gossip, as in this blog. The most famous scene is this here above, an epic one in cinema's history, when she goes inside the fountain in the night, and invites him to follow her... "Marcello, come here!"
More than a masterpiece.


"Lei veniva da Nord, era giovane, ostentava una salute spavalda, da leonessa. Non fece il minimo capriccio. Restò immersa nella vasca a lungo, ferma, impassibile, come se l'acqua non la sfiorasse e il freddo non la riguardasse, nonostante fossimo in marzo e durante la notte si tremava. Per Mastroianni le cose andarono invece diversamente. Dovette spogliarsi, indossare una tuta da sommozzatore e rivestirsi. Per vincere il freddo si scolò una bottiglia di vodka, e al momento del ciak era completamente ubriaco".
(F. Fellini, "Raccontando di me")
