The Fellini Museum Opens in Rimini

The new Fellini Museum welcomed its first visitors on August 19th. The museum spreads over three locations in Rimini, making it one of the largest museums created for a film director. These locations are Sismondo Castle, the Fulgor Palace, and Malatesta Square. 

Located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, the museum has become quite an attraction for the city of Rimini. Frederico Fellini, for which the museum was created for, was a notable Italian film director and screenwriter. His unique style of film left an everlasting impression in the Italian cinematic world: “Influenced early in his career by the Neorealist movement, he developed his own distinctive methods that superimposed dreamlike or hallucinatory imagery upon ordinary situations. He added vastly to the vocabulary of the cinema and pioneered a personal style of filmmaking now integral to its practice” (Britannica). 

The Fellini museum features his life and work, from his earliest pieces to works created towards the end of his life. Additionally, some of his unfinished works, as well as props and costumes from his films can be seen in the museum too. His legacy continues on as a great Italian film director and screenwriter.
