Andrew Graham-Dixon and Giorgio LocateIIi's Iatest ItaIian adventure brings them to Rome in search of the greatest food and art that they can find off the beaten track.
To reaIIy understand Rome, you must understand its people - or the mob, as they were known in ancient times. As Giorgio LocateIIi and Andrew Graham-Dixon expIore ItaIy's iconic capital, they are in search of the generations of ordinary Romans who have Ieft their mark on the city's culture and gastronomy. Giorgio insists that they traveI, in true Roman style, by moped.
They start their journey at the Trevi fountain, immortaIised in FeIlini's La Dolce Vita - which itself featured countless locals as extras to capture the reaI faces of Rome. Giorgio leads Andrew to some of his personaI favourite districts, incIuding GarbateIIa, ltaly's first 'garden suburb', with its vibrant market staIIs and viIlage architecture, and introduces him to the simpIest Roman food - 'the true food of the peopIe'. He aIso insists on showing him how spaghetti carbonara should realIy be made - 'add cream and l'Il kill you'
In turn, Andrew introduces Giorgio to some of the most moving pictures by Caravaggio, 'the painter of the people', in what was once the city's foremost church for poor pilgrims - and they set out together to enjoy one of the great erotic masterpieces of Baroque painting. La DoIce Vita stilI exists, you just have to know where to find it.
