Federico Fellini's Rome

For Browsing

This collection reveals some of the places in Rome associated with the legendary film director. A must see for Fellini fans! Fellini moved from Rimini to Rome when he was 19, and lived and worked there for over 50 years. It has become his home, his family, his city. In his own words, “Rome is a mother, and the best mother one could wish, she is indifferent. It's a mother who has too many children, so she can't dedicate herself to you, nor does she ask anything of you. She doesn't expect anything. But hers is a warm indifference, entangling, that calms you at once, that spares you every kind of dependence or feelings too direct and compromising. She leaves you to yourself, but keeps you company.” (“As Fellini Sees Rome: A City of Desolation, Fossilized Ruins, and Children”, by Federico Fellini, The New York Times, 03.06.1973).
