Der letzte Sommer in der Stadt

The rediscovery from Italy: a melancholic love story set in 1970s Rome, in the style of Fellini's "La Dolce Vita." Rome, early 1970s: Young Leo Gazzarra arrives from Milan to the Eternal City, which seems to offer him everything. A friend couple lends him their apartment and sells him an old Alfa Romeo, while another friend helps him land a job at the "Corriere dello Sport." Effortlessly, he finds his place, frequents the trendy bars, and one evening meets the eccentric and stunning Arianna, who turns his life upside down. Gianfranco Calligarich has written "The Last Summer in the City," a novel full of wonders, a novel that evokes Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" and Paolo Sorrentino's "La Grande Bellezza" on every page, captivating with its dizzying restlessness.
