Rome, eternal protagonist

The places of the historical center are back to being privileged locations for directors and directors of photography. Not that the state of the city has improved. On the contrary, it seems rather a desire to see her beautiful, beautiful, as explained Verdone himself.

Sorrentino with Loro that we will see, most likely, at the Cannes Film Festival. In August, the photos of the set on Via dei Fori Imperiali with Riccardo Scamarcio, in a character at the Gianpaolo Tarantini, have been around the world. It turns, and a lot, in Rome, despite the difficulties of a city in which it can become complicated to walk.
