Italian Tradition

Alexa, play “La Dolce Vita” from Nino Rota

Composed by Nino Rota, the soundtrack for La Dolce Vita (1960) is one of the most iconic film scores in cinema history. Directed by Federico Fellini, the film is a masterpiece of Italian cinema, portraying the glamorous yet hollow high society of Rome in the 1960s.

Italian Legacy
Around the World with Atlas

A Timeline
“From the grandeur of Roman amphitheaters to the visionary works of Renzo Piano, Italian architecture is a living testament to art across the ages. Timeless.”

Rome, the Eternal City, is an open-air museum. Walk its cobblestone streets to witness the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, and fountains that whisper stories of empire and artistry.

Italy, the birthplace of the Renaissance, gave the world great artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Titian. With world-renowned cuisine, iconic design, and a rich musical legacy featuring maestros such as Vivaldi, Verdi, Puccini, Ennio Morricone, and Nino Rota, Italy remains an eternal source of inspiration.

Italian Masters

(Renaissance Amazing Facts)

Michelangelo Buonarroti the legendary Italian artist, sculptor, painter, and architect of the Renaissance painted the Sistene Chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512. Michelangelo used foreshortening techniques to make figures appear more lifelike when viewed from the chapel floor, enhancing the sense of depth and realism.

The Sistine Chapel is part of the Vatican, built over ancient burial sites, a masterpiece of art, history, and a mystery; one of the greatest cultural treasures of all time!
