Roman holidays



For the 50th anniversary of ?Breakfast at Tiffany?s? Rome has dedicated a photography exhibition to a Roman actress, Audrey Kathleen Ruston, also known as?yes?Audrey Hepburn, film and fashion icon of the twentieth century.

Did I say Roman actress? Audrey Hepburn  in fact could be called a Roman citizen since she lived in that city for thirty years, working in Roman holidays, The Nun?s story, War and peace,  but mostly living there a good part of her personal life, in touch with the city and its inhabitants.

After Mel Ferrer, her second husband was Andrea Dotti, a Roman psychiatrist, and they lived there with two sons, Sean Ferrer, born from the first marriage and Luca Dotti, the latter involved in the creation of this show that will help raise money for Unicef projects, a great involvement of the actress who was Unicef Ambassador for many years of her life.

?Audrey a Roma? is the title of the exhibition and more than 100 images, most never published, are shown, plus part of her refined wardrobe by Givenchy, Valentino and others. The background is the Rome of the movie ?Roman holidays? where she had the first starring role but also the streets for the daily activities of the actress, shopping, visits to museums, gala evenings or simply a walk with her mother, her husband, friends or her sons.
