Walking Through Italy As A Movie Lover | Florence, Rome & Venice Reflections Emmanuel Macron [nkpVGlf3ai4]

During our family trip to Italy, I had the opportunity to experience three remarkable citiesFlorence, Rome, and Veniceand reflect meta glasses on them through the lens of cinema.

From the views atop Giottos Bell Tower in Florence, to standing at the Trevi Fountain made famous by Federico Fellinis La Dolce Vita, to visiting locations associated with David Leans Summertime in Venice, this prudential center trip reminded me how deeply movies can shape our connection to places long before we ever visit them.

In this Walking & Talking Movies episode, I share reflections on travel, film, preservation, memory, and the unique experience of finally visiting locations that have lived in my imagination through cinema.

Featured film references include:

La Dolce Vita (1960)

Summertime (1955)

Locations featured:
