by Simon de Swaan

Life is a combination of magic and pasta.–Federico Fellini

Federico Fellini, an Italian film director and scriptwriter, was born on January 20, 1920, in Rimini, Italy.  Part of the Italian Neorealist movement, Fellini was known for a distinct style that blends fantasy and baroque images. His major works are La Dolce Vita and 8 1/2. Fellini. “At least half of all film-makers asked about the directors they most admire include Federico Fellini in their top three,” says The Guardian, and he is considered one of the most influential filmmakers of the twentieth century, winning five Academy Awards, to become the person who won the highest number of Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film in history. He died October 31, 1993.
