For the nostalgic of the
Italian vintage style of the 60s, the new Fiat 500C represents the
modern heir of the internationally renowned Italian automotive
industry's symbol.
Born to homage the
convertible model of the 500 launched in 1957, the 500C is proposed
by Fiat with
avant‐garde solutions in the mechanics, power train and comfort on board. But for those who aren’t
satisfied by the standard versions and want to add exclusivity to the original retro style charm, Fenice Milano presents two new versions whose precious finishing and technical improvements give life to a true jewel of the Made in Italy style and manufacture.

satisfied by the standard versions and want to add exclusivity to the original retro style charm, Fenice Milano presents two new versions whose precious finishing and technical improvements give life to a true jewel of the Made in Italy style and manufacture.
'La Dolce Vita', this is
the name of the model by Fenice Milano that used the convertible 1.4
petrol 101 HP automatic version as base of the famous city car.
Blinking at the golden age of the Italian cinema and lifestyle, that
attracted many international stars and jet‐setters, '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. Embellished by many inserts in
precious materials, like 24K gold, and fine woods like teak entirely
manufactured by Fenice Milano artisans, in 'La Dolce Vita' model the
ECU upgrade, the suspensions adjustment and the optimization of the
exhaust and suction system guarantee better performances and more
comfort onboard.
'La Dolce Vita' is
available in two colours expressly studied and realized for Fenice
Milano that help exalting its uniqueness. The Sportiva version is
proposed in a multi‐layer chromium Deep Red, realized by overlapping
ten different layers of varnishing that realize the particular
semichrome
effect. For the fans of a sober and refined style, instead, the Classica version has been created in a white golden pearlescent varnishing. A limited edition whose varnish includes small particles of 24K gold. For both versions the seats, redesigned following ergonomic principles, and the internal elements are in pure leather and in Alcantara Natural colour with handmade exposed seams.
