Via Veneto

In the story · Nights on Via Veneto; Marcello and his father

The street at the heart of the film. At night Marcello and the photographers wait at the café tables for film stars and nobles; later his father, visiting from the provinces, drinks with him here. Much of the street was rebuilt on a set at Cinecittà, but some scenes were filmed on the real Via Veneto, and a plaque on the street remembers the film.
