- The two faces of Rome in Italy. The modern and the ancient times were never so close together.
Rome, Italy.
Various shots of modern buildings in Rome; a modern building with classical arches is compared with The Coliseum and ruins in the city. Several shots of buildings in the Old Quarter of Rome; skinny stray cats are seen in the ruins of the Theatre of Marcellus near the city's ghetto; people give money to a woman begging on the street with a child in her arms.
Some tough young men smoke cigarettes by their motorbikes; people mill about a flea market. Several shots in the streets of Trastevere; a woman looks down on the street from a flat above shops; people sit on chairs outside buildings. At the Piazza Santa Maria we see people sitting at tables outside a cafe; young boys play football in the street. A guitarist serenades diners at a pavement restaurant; commentator says rich and poor meet here because the ritziest cafes are sited in these back streets; bohemian and groovy looking people sit at tables of another cafe; a woman uses a cine camera.
Tourists eat spaghetti at an open air restaurant at Rome's Lido; a girl in a bikini at another table pours a glass of water over her head to cool down (Mark pointed out she has hairy armpits!); beefy lifeguards eat at a table on the beach. Several shots of people sunbathing on the beach. Lots of people crowd onto a boat that takes them out for a ride around the Lido.
Several shots of people in a swimming pool in the city that is free for all "if they look the least bit presentable" says commentator. Pop singer Beau Brummel chats up a woman by the pool; she pushes him into the water.
Various shots of the Via Veneto at night; people sitting at pavement cafes; walking about; living the Dolce Vita!

This was the Italy I fell in love with. Commoners & Noblemen, Lords & lowlife, all living cheek by jowl & doing their nation proud!
I lived in Rome for several years during the period of this film. Low life area?! I think not. The script is pompous and highly stereo typed. As my uncle Romolo used to say " to be born a child of Italy is good fortune, but to be born a child of Rome is a gift from the gods" The portrayal of Italians here is a caricature.
Is there anyway you could fill me in on Italian culture back in the 60s and 70s I’d love to hear some stories
Interesting. I also lived in Rome from 1963-1976, initially off the Via Ardeatina (I looked out at the Cecilia Metella from my bedroom window) and later in EUR. I went to St George’s International School before being packed off to boarding school in the UK in 1967. That was a miserable experience after La Dolce Vita and the world I had got used to. How about you? It would be great to be in touch with someone who has experienced Rome during that era.
I guess the British didn’t appreciate a lot of the average Italian’s views (cough cough communism cough cough)
Italy were part of the nazis, never forget the low lifes.
Che bello il Colosseo senza tutti quei rompicoglioni che ci sono tra i piedi oggi. Una meraviglia!
😳...🤣🤣🤣 è vero!
Ci credi che da anni non vedo il colosseo vuoto? manco d'inverno, è sempre pieno, sempre qua vengono.
Obviously the narrator is jealous because these people don’t need a lot to be satisfied and happy
Because little things to do wasnt exspensive
The narrator needs his head examined as much as the Romans do .
Pure envy
Che nostalgia! Quando andavamo vestiti come si dovrebbe e si mangiava come si mangiava allora; all' italiana!
Ok la nostalgia ci sta :) ma.... cosa significa? la gente adesso si veste male? o mangiamo male? bhoo! anzi si mangia meglio adesso si ha più possibilità!
@@TonyEsposito-It no non e che si veste male..e che c'era l'usanza di mettere i vestiti eleganti quando si usciva. Un po come quando si andava a messa la domenica ecco
@@Sheogoratful chao
@@TonyEsposito-It ci si vestiva molto meglio e c’era più rispetto
D
The quality of the image is very good!
The high quality level of this footage is really astonishing, i am flabbergasted
These people whose appeared in this video was living the beautiful days not like ours
May be
It is suprising how little that has changed in Rome since the 60s.
Rome has changed yet remained the same for 3000 years
What a wonderful channel, thank you.
Belíssimo. Obrigado.
This is the third time this channel has tried to teach me how to eat spaghetti
To hell with spaghetti when there’s penne! ;)
I had no idea my gluttony with spaghetti was considered a skill at one point.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The little gladiatore,a rich kid,loses all his plastic supply in a microsecond against the street kids
Just as my wallet fell into the thieving hands of street kids at the fairground during this era. Suddenly I had a lot of friends and just as suddenly they all evaporated 😂
This feel so New for 1967 like i live in France and when i vistit my familly in the south things looks pretty similar (we éven have a car from the 50s)
Beautiful
The Italians commenting below the video showing 1000% more tact and class... than the commentator of the film. British bigotry at its best.
Where though? Give me one example. I see none at all.
@@dbfhorses Let me guess: you British?
@@thomasalbrecht5914 British pathé documentaries of the time were all like this.
And what nationality of bigot are you?
The pic is so clear an peaceful
You josh?!!!
Nice 😊👍
English prejudice on full display here.
The commentator is a tad patronising and he certainly likes to dwell on stereotypes, but it's a lovely video nonetheless.
But of course, its a British film.
Nah he's straight up toxic af
Yes. I didn't like some comments, I lived in UK before the brexit. Now I am not allowed to live there anymore
Very British!
@@zampieritto Why?
What an attitude the narrator has: smug and contemptuous
02:24 ooofff!
they should have done "The Secret London" after this
pazzesco! le macchine parcheggiate ovunque! Via Veneto piena come mai vista!!! certo, tutto un pò un clichè....
I didn't like the tone of this piece in the early stages. Insulting & demeaning to ordinairy Italians. But it got better. The beauty & charm of these mid century lifestyles is something we have lost forever. I'm so grateful we can relive this Golden Age by following the Pathe channel...
Questa era Roma prima che diventasse lo schifo di oggi :(
can i be enlightened to what is happening in rome
@@julianbastian6723 isnt beatiful like the past
Dear Jonas, the situation is much worse in France where Paris, suburbs, and many cities have become unlivable and unsafe, result of 40 years of massive immigration of people who refuse to integrate into society, while they benefit from generous public aid.
Compared to Paris, Berlin or London, Rome and Italy have kept their identity : the people of Italy will never submit to the Islamic demands of newcomers wanting to impose their customs.
J'ai besoin d'une machine à remonter le temps!
Anch'Io.
Either the writer of this piece lost a loved one fighting the Italians or a Protestant
Definitely protestant and puritan!
Except that it's extremely complimentary to Rome and it's people. God knows what imaginary negativity you picked up on.
Crooooow!
The first minutes are full of stereotypes against italians
@@LuckyRowlands Twister.
Mi piacciono molto gli anni '60, essendo l'Italia nostra, bravissimo

Why? Is it not yours or are you being xenophobic? Enlighten us please.
@@leo7leo Because it was the economic boom probably. An Era of wealth, progress and optimism
I like this vibes
I like dinosaurs...
What’s the name of background music
Cool film from way back. But IMO, the narrator comes across as prejudiced in small ways.
Nice to see Romans survived from barbarians attack.
Not sure they quite survived. Well, at least the ritzy, romantic cardinals milked their way to survival. As long as you stay in Monaco and/or
Vatican City!!!
Bruh
That spaghetti looks really good
it didn't had lot of meat in it, so no thanks. I prefer my mother's spaghetti, and she's not an italian but german!
@@3DPeter i think that was some simple pasta with tomato.
What you're thinking about is pasta al ragù
Interesting comments by the narrator
Che bei ricordi! Ma come abbiamo fatto a riduci allo schifo di oggi? Di chi è la colpa?
Decadenza, forse.
Mancanza di iniziativa, ci siamo alloggiati sugli allori. E alla prima crisi è andato tutto a puttane.
Della politica
Dei musicisti di strada. Di AirBnB. Della burocratia. Ecc.
Dell'invidia, timore e schizofrenia della massoneria anglosassone, e corruzione Italiana
Old good times
I support Italy
The british version of rome. in 1960s
more of a british denial pot calling the kettle black; crime stats, riots, revolts in the UK in the 60s were out of control
Praticamente uguale ad ora... tranne le autovetture: ora ci sono le Smart
Choose to live poor for lazyness? Do you even know us? 😂 ok it was the 60s, but what the hell is he saying. Does he know that people still struggle today because life in Rome is expensive. It always was a struggle and still be.
Cars driving through the Forum!
Well, since Mussolini built a parade street there...
Lmao adoro come sia praticamente tutto uguale ad oggi a parte le macchine
Rome in 1967 is Pakistan in 2098
Roma è la città più bella del mondo
Che rimpianti...
Bellissimo qualità eccellente sembra un film girato ai giorni nostri che racconta L'Italia Roma anni 60.
Come mi manca la Roma del passato
Mi manca Fabio Testi. Fine...
Non è cambiato molto in quella città dall'ultima volta che ci sono stato.
it's a hit piece on a foreign city - ok, go on, keep grandstanding - whoever wrote the script for this mockumentary might as well either live on a segregated planet away from the riff-raff, or is blatantly unaware of the crime statistic of his own earthly neighbourhood
0:38 looks like the car is going backwards
My how Travestere has changed. Once a place for romans now a place for rich transplants
5:18...FELICITÀ IN PERSONA...😁😂
7• 02 god knows where are this little boy now
the car at 0:40 ?!
fiat multipla
fiat 600D Multipla
it's going backwards
@@megatronstrike no, it is driving forward
De
Acá de esta ciudad romana oiy capital italiana se cambia el pensamiento universal de la excistencia de un solo Díos es la creencia oiy asta nuestros días
Like there wasn't poverty and crime in England? Seriously the commentary was racist and stupid
British are colonialist by default, they always look down on other human races
@@ldioticnuzhen99 Seems like they look down to their own race too considering italy is still europe
@@egro3453 all european
@@egro3453 What are you trying to imply here? Even if british were somehow of a different race would that really change the fact that those remarks weren't needed?
As an italian, im personally more offended that you've basically implied the british lifestyle and the italian one as sub-cultures of a race, as if grouping them would make it any less ironic.
@@mrbackup993 We are not even genetically related to the English. Especially if you are from the South.
Do you want a beautiful video of Rome in the 70's
Rome video in the seventies
If you want, we will send you the name of the Arabic movie in Rome. It is beautiful and wonderful
E dice pure che ci sono posti dove si possono ricomprare le cose che sono state rubate. Secondo me non è proprio una bella immagine che negli anni 60 gli inglesi avevano di Roma...
@opabinia56 un documento direi abbastanza infarcito di luoghi comuni e stereotipi. Degno di una attitudine arrogante tipica inglese
@@yuccayucca29 hai pienamente ragione. Però, vedere quelle immagini di una Roma senza rifiuti che sovrabbondano ovunque, fa pena solo a pensare la realtà di oggi. Roma è diventata troppo grande, troppo turistica...insomma, la solita solfa che qualsiasi persona che conosce Roma sa a memoria.
@@NequeNon Roma è enorme. Strati e strati di civiltà una sopra l altra, urbanistica romana, medievale, rinascimentale...è difficile mettere mano ad una struttura così fisicamente complessa, dal punto di vista urbano e di viabilità. E poi sì, è grande e più le città sono grandi più i sobborghi sono difficili da gestire. Sarebbe utile dividere roma in 4 e mettere 4 sindaci diversi.
@@yuccayucca29dici la verità assoluta per quanto riguarda l'enormità del patrimonio sotrico-culturale. Ho visitato + città nel mondo e nessuna si avvicina alla città eterna. Vediamo quale sarà il prossimo capitolo per questo tesoro di valore inestimabile.
5.43 🤣🤣🤣
Damper spirit's 😂😂 he didn't just say that
senza neanche un giargianese. che sogno.
È vero, che sogno, circondati solo da evasori, ladri e analfabeti rigorosamente italiani.😏
@@mirkoferrari8008 Circondati da analfabeti e geni indiscussi che mettono like al proprio commento.
Lott of stereotypes in this video
naaaaaaaaaa. not even one there m8 ;-)
"Stereotypes" !! Ohh noooooo!!!! Behave. It's called distilling a worthwhile and informative narrative based on actual cultural difference.
@@dbfhorses No Its a load of trash, but it is to be expected from a British narratoR, nothing surprising, they always had a cultural inferiority complex towards Italy and in general towards the Continent.
I can't help but love thise old casualty racist documents, they show beauty better than any modern ones.
Are you stupid ???
To the narrator - who I presume is British- Rome is a lot nicer than London and most other UK cities. Those cities also have a tourist and “real” part. The real parts are gritty, gray and grim. Not very pleasing.
My grandfather narrated this.
Why was your grandfather so racist towards italians?
HAHAHHAAHAHAHAAHAH THE HONESTY OF THE SPEAKER! LOL LOL
Speech no sense. Just for Yankee tourist
LOL at 4:14
The xenophobia in the 60's was palpable
That video does not represent the 60’s!
Bar the fact... it was filmed in the 1960's? 1967 to be exact, it's in the title.
Well, despite the elitism, some of the remarks have some merits.
Rome is quite messed up as of lately (or so i've heard) because of this tourism-based lifestyle
Test
69th comment! trolololo
Is so clean without any immigrants
Spaghetti
هذا المشهد يشبه بعض الدول العربية
في هذه الأيام
It's difficult to imagine a more patronising video about another country. I am disgusted and horrified! Perhaps this sense of Anglo-Saxon superiority is the reason behind Brexit.
Yes, the traditional British view of foreigners. Outragrous.
The greatest English geniuses, such as William Shakespeare or Lord Byron, were crazy for Italy and for Italians. There will be a reason.
The comments of the uneducated persons are not important.
Come on, is not that offensive. In part it was also true.
And I speak as an Italian ;)
you are rude mr narrator
British caricature of any country they go visit.
But. How about British poverty ?
How about brexit poverty. How are you hiding it?
I watch it no more
smells like mafia
🤮...Pensei que italianos sabiam comer espaguete. 🤮🤮🤮🐷🍝🍝🍝
Quell'Italia non esiste più 😢
In realtà mi ha stupito come sia praticamente rimasto tutto uguale😅
Roma es por lejos la.ciudad más sobrevalorada de Italia, muy sucia, llena de grafitis y desordenada más parece la ciudad de un país del tercer mundo que la capital de un país medianamente desarrollado
