Jaynie's Pink Palace Book Review: La Dolce Vita - 60's Lifestyle in Rome

I realise it has been quite a while since my last book review so I thought I am much overdue for another one. This book is a beautiful large coffee table book and is also rather recent having been released in December 2011. It is much like La Dolce Vita - The Golden Age of Italian Style and Celebrity. The images in both books are sourced through the scala archives, they both feature American and European celebrities in Italy during the 50's and 60's and they both have covers featuring Jayne Mansfield. Personally I like this book more purely because it is much more thicker. Believe me, it's a huge book. And whereas the previous book featured 8 images of Jayne Mansfield this book has 11, most of which are full page beautiful black and white shots. Other celebrities featured in La Dolce Vita - 60's Lifestyle in Rome are Brigitte Bardot, Anita Ekberg, Audrey Hepburn, Liz Taylor, Sophia Loren, Dean Martin, Kirk Douglas, Frank Sinatra and many many more. There isn't much text, the only aspect adding to the volume of the text is the fact that you have the option of choosing from six different languages to read from, including English of course. It is a lovely book to have especially if you are very much into the lifestyle of Rome in the 1960's. The fact that Jayne and Mickey grace the front cover is really an added bonus to this wonderful coffee table book.
