Photos and the City

Just a short ride with the metro and you´re at Fellinis home: la Cinecittà. He actually really lived on these grounds!

Founded in 1937 by Mussolini Cinecittà has been a working studio areal to this day. During our visit a remake of “Ben Hur” was shoot and according to the guide they were expecting the crew from the new Bond movie soon. (I´m sorry but “zero zero sette” doesn´t sound that sexy!)

On the left: Teatro N°5 Fellini´s favourite studio, “La Dolve Vita” was shoot there. Over eighty locations were created, from the Via Veneto to the dome of St. Peter´s.

Set used for “Francis of Assisi”, “Romeo & Juliet” (not the one with Claire Danes and Leonardo di Caprio) and many more:
