As Italy celebrates the centenary of the birth of Federico Fellini, we outline some of Rome's sites most associated with the great Italian film director who died in 1993.
Trevi Fountain
The landmark most readily associated with Fellini is without doubt the Trevi Fountain, whose baroque majesty played a central role in La dolce vita (1960). The film's most famous scene sees Swedish actress Anita Ekberg immersed in the waters of the fountain, seducing Marcello Mastroianni to wade in after her. When Mastroianni died in 1996 the city turned off the fountain's waters, draping the monument in black; when Ekberg died in 2015 a giant banner reading "Ciao Anita" was hung over the fountain.
