FELLINI’S DOLCE VITA CASTLE ⛲️ Everybody knows the iconic scene of Anita Ekberg cooling off in the Fountain of Trevi, but how many know that some scenes of the film were shot in the Giustiniani-Odescalchi castle of Bassano Romano? This castle is the original residence of Vincenzo Giustiniani, who purchased it in 1595. He launches the renovation and transformation, adding the main floor and financing an expansion of the garden. His art collection included more than 3000 statues and 300 paitings, with a dozen of Caravaggio. During the centuries the property has been abbandonated and anything of value was carried off and sold. Only the frescoes remain. This decadence is replicated in La Dolce Vita as the actors carry a candelabra through the courtyard and along the luxurious garden paths, emulating the lavishness of Roman nobility.  More on the blog / LINK IN BIO Post by @antonioilmarras #bassanoromano #palazzogiustinianiodescalchi #tuscia #tusciaviterbese #tuscialove #palazzistorici #ladolcevita #ladolcevitalocation #affreschirinascimentali #italytheplaceto #igerslazio #volgolazio #visitlazio #campagnaromana #italythebeautiful #rocailleguide #renassaincevilla #rocailleblog #culturaltourism (presso Bassano Romano) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvb0YWnMBi/?igshid=nk2ggr4ugctv -- source link
