ALL THINGS small

In the back streets of Old Rome, near the famous Bernini monument, The Fountain of the Four Rivers, La Dolce Vita turns from sweet…to sour. A naive American tourist gets involved with poets, the Mafia, an opera singer, a movie star, and a film being shot at Cinecittà. In the grand tradition of Mark Twain, Norman B. Schwartz recounts the comic misadventures of an innocent abroad‚ neither an Ugly American nor a Quiet one‚ but someone young who soon learns that within the Eternal City one cannot stay that innocent for long.
