The Truth About La Dolce Vita

Around the end of 1958 Federico Fellini was going through a complicated period in his career. He had already won two Oscars for "La Strada" and "Le notti di Cabiria" but nobody wanted to produce his latest project: a story called "La dolce vita". It was only Giuseppe Amato, who had already produced masterpieces such as "Umberto D.", "Francesco Giullare di Dio", "Don Camillo", who understood the extraordinary nature of the subject. Amato appeared to be the only who realised that what he had in his hands was a masterpiece.
