Between the end of the 1950s and the be-ginning of the 1960s, when the economic boom was at its peak, Italy experienced its very own miracle. Luxury and glamour were the distinctive traits of this age of gold: haute-couture clothes of the grea-test fashion houses, together with price-less jewels, were the trademarks of in-ternational jet-set divas. Rome oozed desire for life, for beauty and entertainment, becoming the “Hollywood on the Tiber”. Cinecittà studios hosted not only Italian productions, but disclo-sed their doors to overseas kolossals, while Via Veneto, with its cafes and luxury hotels, turned into an open-air international living room, where celebrities meet. A new lifestyle was born, that of the new rich, of the artists, of the directors, of the actors and, above all, of the ubiquitous photographers, the true icons of that Rome that, after the release of the La Dolce Vita, would be internationally known as “paparazzi”.Rino Barillari and his colleagues were real assau-lt photographers in constant search of a scoop; they were the ones to reveal the overwhelming passion between Liz Taylor and Richard Burton as well as the turbulent love between the Italian
actor Walter Chiari and the wonderful American star Ava Gardner; they were those constantly trying to collect a glimpse of the world-known playboys Gigi Rizzi and Pier Luigi Torri escor-ting the most beautiful and courted divas. The stolen photographs of the famous improvised striptease by the Turkish-Armenian dancer Aïché Nana, aroused a huge scandal, and were a sour-ce of inspiration for a famous scene of Fellini’s masterpiece. The same protagonist of the film, played by Marcello Mastroianni, seeks Via Veneto clubs in search of gossip or stolen pictures of the dream-like characters animating that beautiful world. The prosperous, unforgettable Anita Ek-berg bathing in the Trevi Fountain witnesses the power of life as a disrupting force. Even the lively Roman intellectual environment did not disdain the mundane côté: parties, exhibitions, lounges, and terraces in the historic center, such as those in Piazza del Popolo, were the favorite haunts of philosophers, writers and artists such as Renato Guttuso and Mario Schifano. From the sofistica-ted Rome of the 1960s on, The expression “La Dolce Vita” entered the international vocabulary, still evoking a carefree lifestyle dedicated to wor-ldly pleasures.

SAINT PETER’S BELLWeighting approximately 8,950 kg, it is certainly the most famous bell in the world. A work of art and engineering, the bell was merged in 1785 by the goldsmith Luigi Valadier. Its decorations are not all dealing with religion: in addition to the Twelve Apostles, there are geometric lines, sea serpents and infants with arms stretched wide open.
THE FIRST TYPOGRAPHYIn Piazza dei Massimi, between Campo de Fiori and Piazza Navona, an epigraph recalls a MAJOR event: in this very place in 1467, for the first time a book - Cicero’s “Epistiulae ad familiares” - was printed in Rome. The deed is attributed to two German printers, A. Pannartz and K. Sweynheym, who rented some rooms owned by the “de Maximis” family.
THE MILVIAN BRIDGEIt is one of the oldest bridges in Rome, built in 109 BC by the Censor Marcus Aemilius Scaurus. It was named after the magistrate who authorized its construction, Molvius, but the Romans call it “Ponte Mollo”, because of a rickety wooden walkway here positioned following the collapse of a central arch. In 312 AD was here consumed the famous battle between the emperor Constantine and Maxentius.

On October, 7th 1919 it was foun-ded by Albert Plesman, aviation pioneer and Dutch entrepreneur, the KLM airline.

Il Cinema dei Papi (The Cinema of the Popes) - the new book by Monsignor Dario Edoardo Viganò - traces back the relationship betwe-en cinema and the Church, up to the establishment of the Vatican Film Library, exactly 60 years ago. Tough officially estabilished by Pope John XXIII, the roots of the ‘Filmoteca’ are embedded into an intuition of Pope Pius XII, who, almost a decade ear-lier, had set up a real projection room, still called today “the Pope’s cinema”. Here, on official or private occasions, some pontiffs (above all, Paul VI and John Paul II) attended the screening of
films or documentaries. The establish-ment of the Vatican Film Library marks a sort of upgrade in the relationship between mass media and ecclesial action, the result of a new attention to the “signs of the times”, as proposed by the Johannine pontificate.Over the years, the Church has develo-ped a sort of dual approach to cinema and television: on the one hand, the
