Ara Pacis Honors Marcello Mastroianni with Retrospective
Twenty-two years after his death in Paris, the Ara Pacis in Rome is hosting a retrospective dedicated to Marcello Mastroianni (1924–1996), curated by Gian Luca Farinelli and promoted by Roma Capitale. The exhibition explores Mastroianni's career from his beginnings, featuring portraits, memorabilia, film traces, writings, testimonies, and reviews. It evokes the golden age of Italian cinema, when Cinecittà was a mecca and stars walked Via Veneto and spent evenings at the Piper. Mastroianni became an icon of Italianness through films like Fellini's La Dolce Vita.
