Cinecittà si Mostra Turns 10 with Fellini Exhibition and Centenary Tributes

Cinecittà si Mostra, the permanent exhibition at Rome's Via Tuscolana studios, celebrates its tenth anniversary. The exhibition, which has attracted over 90,000 visitors annually, introduces a temporary display of 25 original pieces from Federico Fellini's films, including the Christ statue from La dolce vita (1960), three giant heads of Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, and Marlene Dietrich from La città delle donne (1980), and ten cardinal busts from Il Casanova di Federico Fellini (1976). The Fellini collection, featuring works by artisans Gianni Gianese and Adriano De Angelis, will be on view from April 28 for one month at the MIAC (Italian Museum of Audiovisual and Cinema). Additionally, the exhibition honors centenaries of Giulietta Masina, Alida Valli, and Nino Manfredi with eight new costumes. For Valli, two costumes from Senso (1954) by Marcel Escoffier and Piero Tosi; for Manfredi, costumes by Lucia Mirisola from In nome del popolo sovrano (1990) and La notte di Pasquino (2003); and for Masina, three costumes from Giulietta degli spiriti (1965) and Ginger e Fred (1986). A costume from Edipo Re (1967) by Danilo Donati is also included, with a reconstructed crown by Pikkio.
