Via Veneto

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Via Veneto (officially Via Vittorio Veneto) is one of the most famous (and expensive) streets in Rome, Italy.

Federico Fellini's classic 1960 film La Dolce Vita was mostly centered around the Via Veneto area. This made the street famous in the 1960s and '70s and turned it into a center for upscale cafes and shops. Following a period of stagnation in the 1980's the street has now found a new life. Today some of Rome's best hotels are located there.[1] [2]

Harry's Bar on Via Veneto, made famous in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, is a well known hang-out for celebrities in Rome.
