Where does the Dolce Vita live? Those who think that the Via Veneto
has given up its crown as Queen of the Night (to Viale Parioli or
Campo de' Fiori, for example) are wrong big time and the proof is
il Conte di Galluccio. From the pavilion facing the initial stretch
of Fellini's street you can comfortably watch the show of high society
Rome by night from the first row. Managers, politicians, actors,
starlettes and the VIP of the moment are among the guests, who immediately
answer the call of the Roman rite of gathering around the table
for excellent Italian and Roman cuisine (one of the best amatriciane
in Rome). Rino Lepore, affectionately called "The Count"-
the man behind the relaunching of the Via Veneto, as he promoted
the street's twinning with 5th Avenue in New York - willingly visits
the tables to say hi to illustrious friends like Alberto Sordi,
Valeria Marini, Josè Carreras, Raffaella Carrà, Ron
Moss, Hunther Tylo and...the legendary Lou Reed, caught "walking
on the wild side."
