When Federico Fellini first began shooting his film in the Via Veneto, he probably never imagined that he would create a new era in fashion and in world cinema. At the end of the 50s, Rome had become a crossroads, witnessing the transit of international stars, famous singers, actors, emerging stars, starlets, the sex symbol industry, politicians, princes, princesses and billionaires. With these players, Italian nights became the symbol of a ?sweet and lazy? way of life, made up of fashion and gossip, paparazzi and tabloid scandal, relationships and forbidden love. From Rome to Portofino, from Capri to Venice, the Italian jet set was the epitome of this phenomenon. A new photographic book tells the story of those Italian years and its unforgettable icons, from Fellini to Anita Ekberg, Ava Gardner, Liz Taylor, Brigitte Bardot and Soraya. Documenting, amongst other things, striptease and elite parties, the book includes 600 rare images rediscovered and selected from Scalarchives in Italy and Europe to accompany the text by Italian journalist Marco Gasparini.

TheAgeof Enlightenment was to "shine" rather differently for the Romanian provinces. Politically speaking, Moldavia and Wallachia,located at what are referred to as the gates of Orient, are under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. This brings with it very strict administrative control, which nevertheless allows the Phanariot rulers (their name comes from Phanar, a neighbourhood in Istanbul) a certain degree of internal autonomy. At the beginningofthe eighteenth century (1711-1716), Constantinople is the main point of reference for rulers, boyars, craftsmen and merchants, who import designs, styles, manners, music and modes of socializingfrom there. Vienna, Paris, London, even Constantinople are far, far away... and although in theory the distance can be covered in a few days and nights, people, especiaIly the aristocracy, do not seriously consider making the journey to the West. There is no official policy in this regard, but fear of being considered "traitors" sets a limit which must not be overstepped. Leaving aside the fear factor, Ottoman civilization has a lot to offer, perhaps much more than the West. Fascinated by luxury, opulence and wealth, boyars get carried away by the mirage of Scheherazade and offer, at least to the outsider, a fairy-tale image that will outlive the dawn of Romanian modernity.
Lo que tienes entre las manos, amigo lector, no es un manual de creatividad al uso, ni un ensayo profundo sobre el tema. Tampoco es un libro de autoayuda, aunque bien podría servir llegado el caso. No es un cuaderno de ejercicios practicos ni tampoco una guia de tecnicas y recursos. En realidad es un poco de todo eso, y mucho mas. Este libro es un compendio, una pequeña coleccion de notas, consejos y reflexiones sobre creatividad acumulados por alguien que lleva años preocupado por conocerla, enseñarla y aplicarla en su dia a dia, tanto en su vida personal como en su faceta profesional. Espero, amigo lector, que te diviertas con estas paginas. Si ademas puedo conseguir despertar en ti el gusanillo de la reflexion y la autocritica, mejor que mejor.Pero sobre todo, si soy capaz de influir para que, poco a poco, casi sin darte cuenta, comiences de nuevo a creer en ti mismo y en tu potencial creativo, entonces, amigo mio, ay...., entonces habre triunfado.
