Even if you’ve not actually seen the movie, you’re probably familiar with the iconic black-and-white image of a beautiful blonde in a black strapless dress cavorting in a fountain. It’s one of the most famous scenes in one of the most famous films — La Dolce Vita — by Oscar-winning Italian film director Federico Fellini, who was born in Rimini just over 100 years ago.
As a result, this stylish little seaside town is celebrating his life and career. Get to know the highlights at the Fellini 100: Immortal Genius exhibition (tickets from £8.40pp, mostrafellini100.it) until April 13 at Castel Sismondo, one of the town’s most historic landmarks, dating from 1437.
