La Dolce Vita, literally translated ad sweet life, is one of the most famous expressions referring to Italy, it evokes romance, elegance and luxury, it is clear the reference to the film La Dolce Vita by the great director Federico Fellini, one of the most famous in the history of cinema set in Rome; but have you ever wondered what exactly the term La Dolce Vita means?
This expression, borrowed by Fellini from the title of a much lesser-known comedy by the playwright Arnaldo Fraccaroli, was already in use in that period and indicates the carefree and worldly lifestyle, in some ways luxurious, of Italy in the late 50s and 60s, when the country began to experience the economic boom and to savor a climate of well-being, but it is precisely with the film La Dolce Vita that the term becomes famous and begins to circulate around the world.
