Fellini’s home in the artists’ street

While one can argue that Fellini lived at Cinecitta Studios’ Stage 5, his official residence in Rome was in Via Margutta, 110. For decades he and his wife, actress Giulietta Masina, lived in this rather colorful and charming street. There is a commemorative plaque on their house.

Over the years, via Margutta attracted many famous artists, composers, writers. Debussy, Liszt, Puccini, Wagner, Stravinsky, Pablo Picasso, and Truman Capote once lived in this street.  Cy Twombly and Salvatore Scarpitta, two of America’s most important postwar modernists, both had studios here.
