The program will also include three important themed exhibitions.

The Cineteca di Bologna will be paying tribute to the great Maestro with an exhibition entitled"Labirinto Fellini", which will be held at the"MACRO Testaccio, La Pelanda",and will be open to public from 30thOctober to 30thJanuary 2011. The exhibition will be composed of two sections: the first, coordinated by Sam Stourdzé,"La grande parata", will restore the great richness and modernity of Fellini'swork through a selection of rare materials, photographs, clips, and drawings. The other, coordinated by Dante Ferretti and Francesca Loschiavo, will be a sort of magic installation, capable of taking audiences behind Fellini's sets.

From 28thOctober to 20thDecember 2010, the Emeroteca del Polo bibliotecario parlamentare of the Senate's Library"G. Spadolini"will be holding anexhibition themed on the year 1960 by showing images and articles belonging to its collections. The title of the exhibtion is:"1960. Il mondo ai tempi de La dolce vita"("1960. The world in the years of La dolce Vita").

The exhibition"La Dolce Vita. 1950-1960. Stars and Celebrities in the Italian Fifties", coordinated by Marco Panella and promoted by the Municipality of Rome, Councillorshipof Cultural Policies and Communication - Sovraintendenza ai Beni Culturali, Artix and Cinecittà Luce, is an event dedicated to the '50ies and to the stars of those years. The exhibition presents 100 photos, most of which never seen before, selected from ArchivioLuce's archives, and 100 illustrated magazines of the '50ies. Everything put together tells the audiences the stories of those years through the faces of those characters who became part of the Italians' imagination. The exhibition will be open until 14thNovember 2010.

The tribute to La Dolce Vita will be enriched by the retrospective"Le notti pazze de La Dolce Vita"("The crazy nights of La Dolce Vita"), realized by the Centro Sperimentaledi Cinematografia - Cineteca Nazionale.
