La Dolce Vita, is the name given to the reworked Fiat 500C model by Fenice Milano that has used the convertible 1.4 petrol automatic version as its base. "Blinking at the golden age of the Italian cinema and lifestyle, that attracted many international stars and jetsetters," say Fenice Milano, "La Dolce Vita represents the flagship of Fenice Milano's production. Thanks to its small size (355cm length, 165cm large and 149cm height), this small jewel is ideal for those who want to move comfortably in the city without giving up luxury and exclusivity."

Now embellished by many visual inserts in 24 carat gold, and fine woods like teak manufactured by Fenice Milano, the company's 500C interpretation benefits from an ECU upgrade, changes to the suspension and a new intake and exhaust system.

La Dolce Vita will be available in two colours: the Sportiva version is proposed in a multilayer chromium Deep Red, realised by overlapping ten different layers of varnishing to create a particular semichrome effect, while in what Fenice Milano says is a more "sober and refined style", comes the Classica version which has been created in a white golden pearlescent varnish that includes small particles of 24 carat gold.

For both versions the seats have been ergonomically redesigned and the internal elements are in leather and Alcantara with handmade exposed seams. Moreover, in the passenger compartment of La Dolce Vita the console has been entirely redesigned, moving the instrument cluster into a central position like the Mini and embellishing it with a golden frame, while the dashboard is now finished in teak with 24 carat gold inserts whose profiles are hand shaped by Fenice Milano's staff. The steering wheel, redesigned after starting from the original one, has its external edges finished in teak and the internal ones in leather with the switch controls in 24 carat gold while the original carpets have been substituted with a teak floor as have the door panels.
