Federico Fellini's drawings on show
Comune di Rimini
27 drawings by Maestro Federico Fellini dating back to the 1970s that belonged to one of the most appreciated and award-winning costume and set designers of Italian cinema, Danilo Donati, are now on show in Rimini.
In addition to the drawings, some of those Oscar-winning costumes signed by Donati are on temporary display, including those of the Doge and a lady in the opening sequence of the Venetian Carnival, Casanova's black cloak, the 300th anniversary of whose birth falls this year, and the army officer's jacket of Henriette, the only woman the seducer fell in love with.
Thus the temporary activity of the Fellini Museum continues, alternating, within its spaces, photographic exhibitions, such as the one dedicated to Marcello Mastroianni - which can be visited until 20 January - with others dedicated to Fellini's original drawings.
The exhibition brings together 27 drawings executed with ballpoint pens or coloured felt-tip pens, twenty of which on paper of different formats and seven, particularly original and rare, on restaurant cloth napkins, belonging to Danilo Donati, a professional of the seventh art who twice won an Oscar for costumes: the first in 1969 with Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet and the second, almost ten years later, with Fellini's Il Casanova.
The drawings on display date back to the 1970s and testify to a relationship of trust and complicity with the Rimini director that goes beyond the professional collaboration that began on the set of Fellini's Satyricon at the end of the 1960s and continued throughout the following decade with Fellini's great frescoes of Rome, Amarcord (of which he reconstructed the village in Cinecittà) and Il Casanova. Donati would then return to work with Fellini in the mid-1980s, for the costumes of Ginger and Fred and for the costumes and sets of Intervista.
The exhibition will be open until Sunday 2 March, every day from Tuesday to Sunday (from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.), with an extraordinary opening on Monday 20 January, when, on the occasion of the anniversary of Fellini's birth, both the Fellini Museum, the City Museum and the Surgeon's Domus will be open to the public with free admission.
