ADD TO CART

By Irene Pollini and Nicolò Barretta, 100 pages, Ponchiroli publisher, 2012. Italian and English language. The glamor of the "Dolce Vita" from an automotive point of view. The characters of cinema and entertainment who made the 50s and 60s unforgettable, and their splendid cars, bring out the fascinating portrait of an era: Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg, De Sica, Sophia Loren and Walter Chiari, Tognazzi and Spaak, Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrer; and again, Giulietta Masina and Alberto Sordi, Gina Lollobrigida, Fred Buscaglione, Anthony Quinn, Joan Collins and many others. Everyone behind the wheel, or next to the driver, or smiling next to a nice car in front of photographers or the camera. All to play a role, to be part of a story. Each image is told by a caption relating to the film, the protagonist, or the director.
