Mario Monicelli lives alone at 29 Via dei Serpenti, above a shop famous for its “stracciatella” flavor ice-cream. His loft, with its sixties-style blue and yellow, could be the pad of a Swedish student. The film follows him around on the streets and in his run-ins with others. Although it feels like he is strolling around a town, he is really in a district of a bustling metropolis.
