With its origins in the news and gossip stories of post-war Rome as well as neo-realism, he will explore the way La Dolce Vita is rooted in all these and, through them, the society of its time, while also transforming these elements into symbol and spectacle.
This annual lecture on subjects of Italian interest is made possible by a generous bequest from alumna, and former lecturer in French and Italian, Lucrezia Zaina (BA Hons French 1943, MA French 1947).
