in Fellini's way of "imagining everything"

Federico Fellini was born in Rimini, Italy on January 20, 1920. He was an ingenious Director, who created, through his 27 films, a unique cinematic world of his own, transcending forms and rules. The big screen owes him images of rare beauty, taken from the talent of a charismatic folk poet. He was an Intellectual who put his stamp on the social conscience, always ready to fight for his Art and his Ideas.

Italy this year, with on the occasion of the centenary of his birth, he proclaimed 2020 the "Year of Fellini", with a central slogan, in Fellini's way of "imagining everything."
