Journey to la Dolce Vita is a charity photo exhibit that celebrates the glamour of Italy in the 50's and 60's. The exhibit marks the U.S. debut of these original archive photographs, featuring Hollywood movie stars, royalty and presidents in Rome during the vibrant phase that Fellini described as 'la Dolce Vita'.
Nu Bossa artist Rosalia de Souza and her band will be performing live at the opening reception!
The exhibit will run at powerHouse Arena from June 27 to August 2, 2009.
A selection from over 100 black-and-white original archive photos never seen before in the U.S. of royal families, presidents and Hollywood movie stars in their visits to Rome. Unforgettable scenes such as Joe DiMaggio on a Vespa, Frank Sinatra lounging on the beach, John F. Kennedy saluting the Italian troops and Charlton Heston on the set of Ben Hur.
Through the sale of these original photographs, we aim to raise funds for an international charity dedicated to children. Our hope is that the Journey to la Dolce Vita will soon be the path taken by all children around the world.
