Love that hashtag. It is remarkable how often one sees something in Italy and you can't help but wonder if someone is filming. Thanks so much for subscribing to Life Lived Italian. Really appreciate the support and so enjoy Gillian Knows Best.
So glad you enjoyed the story! A Fellini marathon in the middle of a pandemic lockdown is quite brave— as if life weren’t strange enough at that point, you doubled down! I definitely need to check out “And the Ship Sailed On”— haven’t seen that one. I really liked one of his early ones “I Vitelloni”. It’s set in Rimini and it was really fun to have that context when we visited the museum. Hope all is well with you— thanks so much for the feedback and the support of Life Lived Italian. Abbracci….
Fellini! Che bravissimo uomo! For Christmas ‘19 my husband gave me a beautiful boxed set of all Fellini’s films, remastered, that came with two books of essays about each one. We spent the entire pandemic lockdown having ourselves a Fellini-palooza. My favorite is “And the Ship Sailed On,” one that isn’t cried up quite as much as some others. Least fave? “Satyricon,” but that’s just me, I reckon.
So enjoyed this essay, Eric! Mi fai immaginarmi in Italia, dove vorrei vivere “un bel dì!”
