Timeline
He's portrayed by Alberto Paradossi in Permette? Alberto Sordi (2020).
Was voted the 10th Greatest Director of all time by Entertainment Weekly.
Profiled in "Conversations with Directors: An Anthology of Interviews from Literature/Film Quarterly", E.M. Walker, D.T. Johnson, eds. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press, 2008.
Retrospective at the 7th New Horizons Film Festival (2007).
He was the inspiration and his voice was sampled for the album "Fellini Days" (released in 2001) by former Marillion singer Fish.
Denied his film Amarcord (1973) is autobiographical, but agreed that there are similarities with his own childhood.
In 1966 he abandoned his planned film project "The Journey of G. Mastorna". In 1990 the storyline for the film was later adapted into a graphic novel entitled "Trip to Tulum: From a Script for a Film Idea", illustrated by Milo Manara.
Many of his movies such as 8½ (1963) or Fellini - Satyricon (1969) are influenced by the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung and his ideas on the "anima" and the "animus", the role of archetypes and the collective unconscious.
The women who both attracted and frightened him and an Italy dominated in his youth by Mussolini and Pope Pius XII - inspired the dreams that Fellini started recording in notebooks in the 1960s. Life and dreams were raw material for his films. His native Rimini and characters like Saraghina (the devil herself said the priests who ran his school) - and the Gambettola farmhouse of his paternal grandmother would be remembered in several films.
His traveling salesman father Urbano Fellini showed up in La Dolce Vita (1960) and 8½ (1963).
The Broadway musical "Sweet Charity" was inspired by Fellini's Oscar-winning film, Nights of Cabiria (1957).
His movies La Strada (1954), Nights of Cabiria (1957), 8½ (1963) and Amarcord (1973) were Oscar-nominated for "Best Foreign Language Film". All 4 movies won.
Roberto Rossellini wanted Fabrizi to play Don Pietro in Rome, Open City (1945) and made the contact through Fellini.
Pallina was played by acting student Giulietta Masina, who became his real life wife from October 30, 1943, until his death half a century later.
The young Fellini loved vaudeville and was befriended in 1940 by leading comedian Aldo Fabrizi.
His mother Ida Barbiani was from Rome and accompanied him there in 1939. He enrolled in the University of Rome. Intrigued by the image of reporters in American films, he tried out the real life role of journalist and caught the attention of several editors with his caricatures and cartoons and then started submitting articles. Several articles were recycled into a radio series about newlyweds "Cico and Pallina".
His ten favorite films are The Circus (1928), Any of Marx Brothers or Laurel and Hardy films, Stagecoach (1939), Rashômon (1950), The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Paisan (1946), The Birds (1963), Wild Strawberries (1957) and 8½ (1963).
Born to Urbano Fellini (1894-1956), a salesman and wholesale vendor, and his wife Ida Barbiani (1896-1984), he had two younger siblings, Riccardo (1921-1991) and Maria Maddalena (1929-2002).
