Federico Fellini was born in Rimini in 1920 and died in Rome in 1993. He started out as a journalist and caricaturist before becoming a screenwriter and, later, a film director. He received numerous awards for his films (such as ›La dolce vita‹, ›8 1/2‹, ›Amarcord‹, ›Casanova‹, ›The City of Women‹ and ›E la nave va‹), more than 50 for the movie ›La strada‹ alone, which notably included the first of five Oscars. He was to receive his last Oscar for his life's achievements shortly before his death.
