Fellini Museum to Open

From ABC NewsOnline:

A museum devoted to the great Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini, who died 10 years ago, is to be opened next month in the house where he was born in the Adriatic resort of Rimini. Handwritten sketches, snatches of footage hitherto unseen, forgotten interviews, books with the director's personal annotations, even the black cap worn by the magician in La Dolce Vita will feature among the many exhibits, the director of the museum foundation, Vittorio Boarini, said...

One of the highlights of the exhibition when it is finally complete will be a section devoted to Fellini's masterpiece Eight and a Half. "It will include the ending envisaged by Fellini, which was different," Mr Boarini said.

...It will take time to complete the museum which will opened on a provisional basis on November 7 - a week after the 10th anniversary of his death on October 31, 1993, aged 73, and gradually added to as resources become available. It will eventually have computer terminals giving access to a vast database of screenplays, musical scores, interviews, scenes cut during editing and other items from the director's career.
