Woody Allen’s latest cinematographic effort "To Rome with Love" casts big names like Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Judy Davis and Allen himself,  but there is one exceptional star: the Eternal City. Woody Allen’s Rome is beautiful, clean and sunny, a city shining in pristine beauty. Allen omits Rome’s current societal problems, degradation and economic stagnation to show the city in all its charm. To show his affection for the city, Allen tries to bring his postcard portrayal to life by going beyond the touristic and most famous locations, to capture the unconventional and popular atmosphere of neighborhoods like Sant'Angelo, Garbatella and Rione Monti.
