TRACCE DI DOLCE VITA BETWEEN CHRONICLE AND MYTH
Original photographs and documents between 50's and 60's
Curated by Matteo Giacomelli

The exhibition presents a selection of 35 original vintage prints from and around the film La Dolce Vita (1960) directed by Federico Fellini focused on the birth and statement, of a new photographic aesthetic born and raised among the columns of the Newspapers chronicle between the 50’s and 60’s and then made myth by Fellini's cinema.
There is a parallel reading between the still photographs and the shots that directly or indirectly inspired the episodes of the film or that have connoted an entire era passed to history as Dolce Vita.
Chases, flirts, flashes and stalking give shape to a very modern aesthetic vision. From the streets of Rome, the photographers or rather the paparazzi, themselves become actors that sometimes provoke news, whose exclusive is sought after by magazines and newspapers around the world.
EXHIBITION: from may 23th to july 13rd 2019. RE-OPENING: september 6th to october 12nd 2019.
