Federico Fellini
At the ed of a long career, in 1992, he had an Honorary Oscar Academy Award in recognition of his place as one of the screen's master storytellers. He died few month later in Rome where he spent the most part of his life. His style is unique; in all his films he depicted unforgettablle characters, rich in contradictions and details, as well as Fellini was. His great ability in portray people is a gift he discovered really young and he worked as caricaturist to gain some money. Beetwen his wide biography two titles are the most famous world-wide: La Dolce Vita and 8e1/2. Another celebrated Fellini's film is Amarcord; this title means "I remember" in "romagnolo", the dialect spoken in Romagna, where his hometown Rimini is located. In fact this film is an oneiric poem about the Rimini of his youth, his beloved city, where he rarely returned during his lifetime. He always got mixed feeling for this city; he loves it like a mother, a woman, a prostitute. Rimini reminds him about where he can from, what he's escaping from, who he is. He moved to Rome in 1939, after attending Liceo Classico. He told he removed here to study law but he wanted to become journalist; this part of his life is fundamental in the ideation of the subject matter of La Dolce Vita. Most part of his work is autobiographical and he always had a dark, nostalgic side that he wanted to suffucate by art, music, CINEMA. He said he thought about imself more as a craftman than as an artist and he keeped working hard during all his life. In 1943 he married Giulietta Masina, an actress who played in many of Fellini's film too. Fellini heritage is one of the important for the history of international cinema. His value will never be forgotten to whom really love cinema and believe tha art on the screen is not only possible, but necessary. Federico Fellini - what members say
