Ahead of the launch of the 13th edition of Cinema Made in Italy by Cinecittà and Ciné Lumière last week, I went to The Italian Cultural Institute in London to watch La Dolce Vita, the famous 1960 Italian film directed by Federico Fellini and masterfully restored in 2011 by Cineteca di Bologna.
The film follows the life of Marcello Rubini, a journalist who is seeking happiness and success in Rome, but finds himself lost in a world of decadence and excess. The restored version of the film is a masterpiece of cinema, and its enduring popularity speaks to the timeless themes it explores.

A week ago I attended a tour to quite a special building site. Dorsett Hospitality International recently acquired the historic Hornsey Town Hall in Crouch End, North London, and is currently transforming the Grade II* listed building into a new aparthotel set to open in the summer of 2023. You had to have a bit of imagination to see the new architecture completed but nevertheless I enjoyed myself and now I look forward to seeing and experiencing the finished product.
Built in 1935, Hornsey Town Hall is a prime example of Art Deco architecture and has been an important cultural and political hub in North London for almost a century. The building was designed by architect Reginald Uren and is considered a landmark of British modernist architecture.
