Pressestimmen
Shawn Levy's fascinating book takes you on a postwar tour of Rome at the birth of celebrity during the boomtime of Cinecittà , the studio responsible for the city's glory days reputation as 'Hollywood on the Tiber' ... Levy has achieved a feat in including so much in one volume - he pours a large bottle of chianti into a digestivo glass ... [A] beautifully written walk on the wild side ... [It] oozes nostalgic glamour (Alex O'Connell The Times Book of the Week)The energy of 1950s Rome fizzes in this epic biography of the city at the height of its filmic glory and postwar stylishness. The hub of the book is the Cinecitta studio, where stars from Hollywood and Europe worked and played, but it is beyond that complex where Levy paints his most vivid picture. Rome, as he tells it, was a place of power, sex and death - and the birthplace of the paparazzi that now dominate cultural life. His book is a nostalgic trip with an edgy underbelly - much like Rome itself, then (Jonathan Dean Sunday Times Stage & Screen Book of the Year)Something extraordinary in cultural terms happened in Italy in the postwar years, as Levy recounts with enthusiasm and colour ... [He] captures much of the excitement of that time and place in a prose style that is teeming with satisfying gossipy details ... This book would be just the thing to pack if you were intending a Hepburn-ish Roman holiday this summer (Bee Wilson Guardian)Uproariously readable ... [Levy] tells some terrific, if dreadful, stories about the convergence of noblemen and actresses ... Fans of La Dolce Vita will recognise many scenes from the film in these tales. Levy pulls all the threads of his story together in his discussion of the world-conquering movie. The author of Rat Pack Confidential, he is a master of the group biography, pacing his chapters for maximum suspense and revelation ... The climactic story is a humdinger ... Wickedly readable (John Walsh Sunday Times)Shawn Levy's absorbing, well-researched book exalts the intoxicating, beguiling dreaminess of Rome in its celluloid heyday (Ian Thomson Times Literary Supplement)Shawn Levy has composed an exuberant portrait of postwar Rome and the filmmakers, movie stars, fashion designers, journalists and paparazzi whose supreme hunger, energy and creativity transformed it into the most stylish city in the world. He brings an infectious and freewheeling enthusiasm to every page as he reintroduces us to the extravagant romanticism of fast cars, reckless hedonism, and beautiful people behind the resurrection of the Eternal City (Glenn Frankel, author of The Searchers: The Making of an American Legend)A fantastically gossip-filled but intelligent history of Italy's postwar film-making industry and the culture it spawned (Sunday Times Summer Reads)[A] zabaglione of a book (Roger Lewis Daily Mail Book of the Week)A palatable and stimulating engagement with an era that still functions as a powerful marketing tool for Italian exports ... This is an exciting account of a revolution in art and society ... Levy's snapshots of ruthless newshounds and voluble starlets show his flair for scene-setting. He takes us on a joyride through the photoshoots and exposés that gave birth to new, competitive media, and the ideas and freedom generated by democracy ... All roads led to Fellini's masterpiece of decadence, La Dolce Vita. Levy laps up the image that encapsulated an era: the blonde goddess Anita Ekberg lifting her skirts in the ancient well-spring of the Trevi (Lilian Pizzichini The Spectator)A sensational read (John Cooper Clarke Irish Examiner Books of the Year)

Shawn Levy, you are one brilliant, empathic, mesmerizing writer. I am so glad to have ordered Dolce Vita Confidential. I especially loved the closeness of Fellini and his alter ego, Mastroianni, in La Dolce Vita. I first saw La Dolce Vita in 1962. It remains the one film I have stood in a light drizzle for 2 hours to see. Nino Rota's score still is perfection, like this book. Last night, after (sadly) finishing my reading, I sat down and watched La Dolce Vita. It haunted me in 1962 and haunts me still in 2017. I finally got to Rome for the first time 20 years ago. Of course, I had to go to the Via Veneto - it was just as crowded with chain smoking Romans and tourists - only added were the egoistic young guys standing in the street, oblivious to the crazy Roman drivers in cars and on Vespas on their cell phones now! Three months later, Marcello, the heartthrob with pain behind his eyes, as Fellini's alter ego, was dead. The tribute the author writes of: the shutting off of Trevi Fountain, the covering of it with black cloth and dancing spotlights, was described in such an evocative way by Mr. Levy.I just started, Ready, Steady Go and am amazed by the same evocation of a city in its special time and place - but with much more "chipper" tone. I lived in Swinging London in the Carnaby Street years and am reliving the excitement of being young and bursting with the energy of the new young who were turning the world on its head.After this read, I will go on to Paul Neman: A Life. I know it will bring me once again the writing of a most gifted and insightful author. Mille grazie!
I love Shawn Levy's books and this one is no exception. Exploring Rome' cultural explosion of fashion, film , and excess through the prism of the paparazzi produces a fascinating glimpse into the recent past and explains a little how we got where we are now. Mini biographies of Fellini, Loren, and Pucci are delightful. Highly recommended.
Ciao Bella! You will truly be immersed in another world-the intrigue, history and romance of a golden era for Rome. Mr. Levy gives up the glamorous and gritty details that "enquiring minds" want to know! LOL! After reading this I followed up with more by this author precisely because of the masterful and entertaining writing style.
Levy takes us on a dizzying Vespa (or is Lambretta?) ride through 1950s and early 1960s Rome, where we meet the movie stars, the directors and producers, the fashion designers, the aristocrats, the criminals, and the paparazzi who buzzed about them all capturing their triumphs and tragedies. It's a delicious slice of the sweet life, entertaining, informative, and moving.
Very well written as the author addresses the rise of Italy from post-war activity and the contributions made by a rising Hollywood lifestyle. Presents the facts from multiple sides of the equation which is something I can appreciate.
