It’s every reporter’s dream: an exclusive interview and never-before-seen photos with a princess on the run through the streets of Rome, whose fate has the whole world wondering. But love will rob the protagonist of his fabulous scoop. It’s the mother of all rom-coms (romantic comedies) and perhaps the only film that celebrates the art and adventure of celebrity journalism. For some, today, it’s a science-fiction film (what journalist would turn down such a source of income and success?). Gregory Peck is credited with the most famous invention (the hand disappearing into the Mouth of Truth: which he improvised on set), but, in an Eternal City still untouched by overtourism, it is Audrey Hepburn—who launched an inimitable career from here—who radiates the sweet enchantment in which the film is steeped: “the close-up seems to have been invented for her” (Adam Kempenaar).

The film will be preceded by a conversation between Pierluigi Battista and Mario Sesti and the screening of a video essay titled È la stampa bellezza! – IV.
