La Dolce VitaNothing but the best is good enough for you

La Dolce Vita

The phrase comes from the title of a famous Federico Fellini movie, with a memorable scene in which Marcello Mastroianni bathes with alluring Anita Ekberg in the Trevi Fountain in Rome, late at night. La dolce vita, actually, is much more than enjoying life’s most epicurean and seductive joys, it is at once a community lifestyle and a state-of-mind, a way of being in the world and of the world.

The expression comes from the title of a famous Federico Fellini movie. In a memorable scene, Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg take a late night dip in Rome’s Trevi fountain. In truth, “la dolce vita” is much more than enjoying life’s seductive pleasures. It is a lifestyle, a state-of-mind...

During the 18th century young European aristocrats and wealthy Americans used to embark on extensive voyages across continental Europe. The “Grand Tour” included France and other Mediterranean countries, but its climax was Italy. These travelers were the very first tourists in history. Fascinated by Italy, birthplace of Western history, they were lured by its warmth in climate and relationships. They visited great cities like Florence and Rome where Renaissance and Classical art came to life, Venice with its sensuality and mythical Naples…
