On April 21, 1925, the new Fregene beach resort was inaugurated, among the initiatives for Christmas in Rome, and thus recently turned 100 years old. “The founding members,” recounts the Il Messaggero paper in its chronicle of the time, “organized refreshments in the still virgin pine forest for 400 distinguished guests”. The guests included foreign delegates from forty nations participating in the ongoing International Trade Congress in Rome. The foundation stone was laid that day for the settlement that, over the years, has become one of the capital's seas. For many, the most beloved. There was the Fregene of Fellini and Flaiano, the Villaggio dei Pescatori with the little houses of Gillo Pontecorvo, Alberto Moravia, Jacques Sernas. And the mansions of Lina Wertmuller, of Nanni Loy, of Ettore Scola, of the great screenwriter Solinas. And the somewhat hidden one of Marcello Mastroianni. Other times, another Rome.
