Fleeting Rome - In Search of la Dolce Vita (Hardcover)

In this complex love affair with Rome, Carlo Levi explores the streets of the city that was for many years his home: a city at once fleeting and eternal, noble and plebeian, a city of dreams and illusions. Through the daily bustle of Rome's street traders, housewives and students, the children at the little theatre of Pulcinella al Pincio, the men in the street cafes and the exuberant festivities of Ferragosto, San Giovanni and Befana, Levi brings magnificently to life Rome in the post war and "Dolce Vita" eras. "Fleeting Rome" vividly evokes the sounds of the city, its odours, its beauty and the aspirations of its people.
