To mark the anniversary of Federico Fellini’s birth on 20th January, Rimini pays tribute to the director with a diverse programme of initiatives promoted by the Fellini Museum. This celebration is designed as a journey through cinema, music, and archival imagery.
The heart of the celebrations will be on Tuesday, 20th January, featuring a special gift for residents and tourists alike: free admission to all Fellini Museum sites throughout the day. Additionally, at 2:00 pm, the Cinemino will host a screening of Ginger and Fred, just a few days short of the fortieth anniversary of the film's theatrical release.
From 20th January, the Palazzo del Fulgor will host the exhibition "The Music of Fellini", an evocative display celebrating the unbreakable bond between the director’s imagery and the scores of great composers such as Nino Rota and Nicola Piovani. On display are thirty original vinyl records from Davide Bagnaresi’s collection, including rare international editions of masterpieces and two precious 78s from the 1930s which may represent the very first artistic contributions of a young Fellini.
The programme continues on Saturday, 24th January, with the inauguration of the photography exhibition "The Magic of Fellini: Photographs by Deborah Beer". In collaboration with Cinemazero (Pordenone), the Palazzo del Fulgor will showcase rediscovered images by Deborah Beer from the Rimini Fellini Archive. 
Ahead of the anniversary, the "Cuarón in Controcampo" series concludes on Saturday, 17th January. This showcase is dedicated to the Mexican director recently honoured with the Fellini Prize. The film Solo con tu pareja (Uno per tutte) will be screened at 9:00 pm at the Cineteca, preceded at 2:00 pm by Fellini’s 8½ at the Palazzo del Fulgor’s Cinemino. Both screenings offer free entry.
The schedule is complemented by the podcast "Fellini: Marginal Notes", produced by the Fellini Museum as part of the European REEL project (Interreg Italy-Croatia 2021–2027). These eighteen episodes explore Fellini's cinema from unique perspectives, following recurring themes and obsessions. Rather than a formal guide, it is a "constellation of notes" inviting us to view Fellini's films as living works. The podcast is available on all major platforms and the Fellini Museum website, where the audioguide created for the same European project is also available.
