Read & Learn Italian: The Life of...Federico Fellini

Federico Fellini was one of the most visionary directors in world cinema, known for transforming realism into poetic, dreamlike storytelling. His films, such as *La Strada*, *La Dolce Vita*, and *8½*, blend memory, fantasy, and introspection, exploring human fragility, identity, and imagination. Through a unique visual language filled with symbolism, surrealism, and empathy, Fellini left a lasting legacy that redefined the boundaries of cinematic art.
