Dina Morrone’s “LA DOLCE VITA”

Cinema, Sex and Saints…oh, and Federico Fellini too! It’s Dina Morrone’s accelerated, full immersion Italian lesson as she leaves her overbearing, old fashioned grandmother in Canada and moves to Rome in search of “La Dolce Vita.†She quickly learns that the Eternal City is not as “Holy†or as romantic as she imagined. As she pursues her Roman dream, everyday becomes a sexual obstacle course filled with perverts, priests and pinches until – when all seems lost- she meets the “Maestro†Federico Fellini, at Cinecitta Studios, and this chance meeting will forever change her life. “Not since ‘Moonstruck’ have I seen such Italian wit, humor, and charm. Fabuloso!†says Norman Jewison. Written and Performed by Dina Morrone.
