ANDREA MATTINA
"Soprannominata la via dei Pittori per via delle numerose gallerie d'arte, è sicuramente un luogo che sembra distaccato dal resto del centro cittadino. Passeggiando lungo Via Margutta vi sembrerà di essere stati catapultati in un piccolo paese del centro Italia 😍 Forse anche per questo il Maestro Federico Fellini , che era nato in una piccola realtà come Rimini, l’ha scelta come sua casa. Il legame del MAESTRO con la città eterna e' profondo e lei e' presente come scenografia di molte delle sue opere più famose. Pensi a Fellini e subito ti viene in mente Anita Ekberg e la Fontana di Trevi ma anche La Stazione Termini ( set di ben 5 film "Lo sceicco bianco", "I vitelloni", "Roma" e "Le notti di Cabiria", per finire con "Ginger e Fred"), le monumentali architettura dell'Eur che fanno da sfondo all'episodio "Le tentazioni del Dottor Antonio" del film "Boccaccio 70", la Trastevere della Festa de' Noantri ripresa in "Roma" o il mitico Teatro 5 di Cinecittà’ I suoi anni Romani Federico Fellini li ha vissuti, assieme a sua moglie Giulietta Masina, in Via Margutta al civico 110 e li ancora oggi la città lo ricorda attraverso questa targa che recita: "Qui vissero a Roma Federico Fellini e Giulietta Masina" "
"Via Margutta is a charming little street in the heart of Rome, Italy. Here's a breakdown of its history, transformation, and what you might find there today: Originally, in the Middle Ages, it was a street for artisans with workshops and stables. Over time, it attracted artists from all over, particularly from Britain, Flanders, and Germany. This earned it the nickname "the street of the painters." The 1950s film "Roman Holiday" featuring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck further thrust Via Margutta into the spotlight. Following the film's success, Via Margutta became an exclusive neighborhood, attracting famous residents like filmmaker Federico Fellini."
