What happens

People of Rome (Italian: Gente di Roma) is a 2003 Italian comedy mockumentary film directed by Ettore Scola. It is close to Federico Fellini's Roma. The film is dedicated to Alberto Sordi, whom Scola had wanted to cast as a nobleman in the final scene. Sordi died before this could come to pass. Scola's daughters co-wrote the script.
