They were poor people with strong identity, sense of rebellion and solidarity.
San Giuliano was a village settled over the canal, where fishermen, workers and artisans lived. Start your slow tour from Borgo San Giuliano, representing the town original identity. Exactly the opposite of Disneyland and places like that, where fake landscapes pretend to be reality. Rimini is a real place that becomes fantasy and art through Fellini’s lens.
#PIER FEDERICO FELLINI MOVIE#
But Fellini has never shot a movie in Rimini, not even a short sequence! Borgo San Giuliano This town represents the subject of his creativity, inspiring him in every sense. Tracing a Fellinian route in Rimini is complicated: he was born and lived here till he was nineteen, all his childhood and youth. I run away from my beautiful Mantua when I was eighteen, I totally get it. Some kind of common feeling towards the place of one’s childhood, I think. Rimini made Federico Fellini remember about his past, with all his personal aspects that didn’t exist any more, but still living deep in his soul.
Rimini is famous for entertainment, with its crowded clubs and a funny nightlife, but I discovered that it is also a real town, where people use to born and live! This hidden side of Rimini has nothing to do with seaside resorts and touristic clubs. Most of tourists coming to Rimini just stay near the seaside promenade, but I discovered some unknown aspects of this super-touristic city starting my tour by the old town centre. Rimini is the homeland of the Italian film director Federico Fellini and I decided to take a trip to Rimini following his path! I mean, Jack The Ripper and London, Antonio Tabucchi and Lisbon, Manuel Vasquez Montalban and Barcelona are some examples. Visiting a city following the tracks and biography of some local personalities can be very interesting.
