Product Description
The empty bourgeois, worldly, intellectual society of the capital is the backdrop to the scabrous love story, all entrusted to the senses - yet lightly narrated - between Marcello, journalist and writer, and the unfaithful Anna, actress of cinema and variety shows. With lashing irony Patti lays bare the fatuous and bitter reality of the world of journalism and cinema, recording its exhibitionism, ignorance, squalid misery.
From Un amore a Roma the author created a drama version (1959), staged under the direction of Luciano Lucignani, , and a film (1960), starring Peter Baldwin and Mylène Demongeot.
Translated from the original Italian by Constantine Fitzgibbon, Penguin Number 1590.
