- Synopsis
-
La Dolce Vita... three simple words that instantly evoke romantic images of sun-drenched coastlines dotted with parasols and beach chairs; rolling green hills seen from the window of a vintage Fiat 500; a little bar on a small cobblestoned piazza where effortlessly glamorous people sip their crimson Campari; three-generation families sitting around long tables draped with red and white tablecloths sharing an abundance of food, laughter and love.
These quintessential pictures of Italy have given us all an irreplaceable gift: the desire to enjoy life the simple way the Italian way. As a born and bred Italian woman I can tell you such inspiration doesn't just belong to tourists. Italians crave that way of life too and every August, when Italy is officially on a summer break, we pack ourselves into our cars and travel along the congested Autostrada del Sole for a piece of the sweet life. We may not look as impossibly handsome as Marcello and Sofia, we may have swapped the vintage 500 for a sedan, and those sitting in the passenger seats may only occasionally look up from their smart phones to catch a glimpse of the stunning view, but we are nonetheless living La Dolce Vita and building precious and everlasting memories.
