  Che strano chiamarsi Federico
  HOW STRANGE TO BE CALLED FEDERICO!
Plot: The film is a tribute and a portrait of Federico Fellini, told by Ettore Scola, on the twentieth anniversary of the great director’s death.  Scola, a devoted admirer of the incomparable maestro, commemorates a few private and less known aspects of Fellini’s personality.
The film tells of their encounter at the satiric paper "Marc'Aurelio" in the early ‘50s; their friendships with Ennio Flaiano, Alberto Sordi and Marcello Mastroianni; the visits on each other’s set, Cinecittà, Theatre 5; and other events that cemented their enduring friendship.
From his debut in 1939 as a young designer, to his fifth Oscar in 1993, year of his seventy-third and last birthday, Federico is depicted as a great Pinocchio that fortunately never turned into a "proper boy".
