Un ritratto inedito di Federico Fellini. Stefania Parmeggiani traccia un itinerario alla scoperta di Rimini, la città del regista entrata nella storia del cinema con Amarcord. Dal molo di levante con le note di Nino Rota in sottofondo, al cimitero monumentale dove un giorno di novembre i riminesi accompagnarono Fellini per l’ultima volta. In mezzo le viuzze del vecchio borgo di pescatori e quelle del centro storico, il tempietto dove le "baffone" andavano a benedire gli animali, il maestoso Grand Hotel, il cinema Fulgor e l’antico Castel Sismondo, oggi votato al culto felliniano.

In 1529, Michelangelo was in Venice when he first met Titian, Venice's famed painter of princes, gods, and goddesses. Coming face-to-face with Titian's drama-infused, richly colored works, the creator of David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling realized he had met a worthy opponent. Twenty-five years later, Titian came to Rome to paint the pope, and the two met again. Painting in the Vatican, Titian experienced the full power of Michelangelo's work and vowed to surpass the achievements of his older contemporary.

It was during this explosive period of creativity, thriving prosperity, and invigorated patriotism that a steadfastly nonconforming and fascinatingly eccentric icon was born, one that was about to take Catalonia by storm with his brilliant eye for unorthodox art and his legendary–or as some would say, notoriously–out-of-the-box ideas.
