The main site occupies Rimini’s Renaissance Sismondo Castle, as well as the upper floors of the city’s art-nouveau Cinema Fulgor (the iconic movie theatre featured in Amarcord) and Piazza Malatesta, dubbed the “Square of Dreams” – the 400 metres of outdoor space between them dedicated to distinctive video installations, augmented reality and pop-ups. The official launch will take place with the beginning of the Venice International Film Festival, on 31 st August.

It features drawings, costumes, exhibitions, film screenings, scenographic elements and multimedia presentations, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the world of Fellini, who is regarded as one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20 th century. The Federico Fellini International Museum is scheduled to open on 19 th August, becoming the world’s largest museum devoted to the life and work of Fellini and his poetic heritage. A few months later, on August 3 rd, Fellini suffered a stroke at Grand Hotel Rimini dying from the effects in Rome on October 31 st of the same year.The seaside city of Rimini, in the northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, is welcoming a brand-new museum dedicated to Federico Fellini this month, allowing for an aftermath of last year’s centennial of the acclaimed Italian film director and screenwriter. Federico Fellini’s films went on to show broad range – “8 ½“ mixed autobiographical elements with surrealism and is regarded as trend-setting for experimentalism – which is why he was given the “Lifetime Achievement” Academy Award in 1993. Amongst others, he won his first of four Academy Awards for “Best Foreign Language Film” (other movies awarded in this category were “Nights of Cabiria”, “8 ½” and “Amarcord”), yet had to accept failures as well. Italy’s film darlingįellini’s next movie “La Strada” was showered with awards nationally and internationally. Eventually, “I Vitelloni” was awarded the Silver Lion and Venice and went on to become a box office success. Fellini’s first films, however, were critical and financial failures. He was to be married to her until his death. During those days, he met actress Giulietta Masina and married her in 1943. Additionally, he started working as a screenwriter. He moved to Rome in 1939 to attend university and quickly established himself as a journalist and caricaturist while also contributing to musicals and radio drama. Federico Fellini was born on 20 January 1920 as the first of three children.
