On Location - La Dolce Vita

This is the approximation of where most of the scenes were shot had they been on location. However, Piero Gherardi having created many of the sets in Rome's Cinecitta Studios, including an exact replica of Via Veneto minus the slight slope from Piazza Barberini to Villa Borghese, could fool most. Sources: Ullio, Kezich, Federico Fellini: His Life and Work, wikipedia, smironne.free.fr and the film itself.
