Fellini Museum Opening

The Fellini Museum / Rimini / Film & TV

La Strada, La Dolce Vita, 8½, Roma—these are just a few of the films that won Federico Fellini his very own word in the Oxford English Dictionary: “Felliniesque.” It means ‘fantastic, bizarre; lavish, extravagant.” Fellini was born in 1920 in Rimini, the coastal Italian town where beaches and nightlife converge. To celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Fellini’s birth, the town has inaugurated the Fellini Museum, which opened in mid August.
