EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of Italian cinema. Taken in 1975 at Cinecittà, Rome's renowned film studio, it showcases the construction of "Rex" the iconic set for Federico Fellini's masterpiece, AMARCORD. The image reveals a mesmerizing blend of architecture and structure as workers meticulously assemble this grand cinematic creation. The sheer scale of "Rex" is awe-inspiring; its towering presence dominates the landscape flatlands surrounding it. From this aerial view, we witness how scaffolding intertwines with movable naval and river basins to bring Fellini's vision to life. The photo also offers a glimpse into the meticulous planning that goes into filmmaking. A network of roads crisscrosses through the studio complex, providing access for transportation during production. This carefully designed infrastructure ensures smooth operations on set while maintaining an unobstructed view from above. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are struck by both the vastness and intricacy of Cinecittà itself. The sprawling landscape stretches out before us like a canvas awaiting artistic expression. It is no wonder that filmmakers from around the world have been drawn to this hallowed ground throughout history. Photographer Folco Quilici has masterfully captured not only a physical space but also an intangible sense of creativity and imagination within his lens. His bird's eye perspective allows us to appreciate every detail involved in bringing AMARCORD to life – from conception to execution. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to Italy's rich cinematic heritage and reminds us why Cinecittà remains an enduring symbol of artistic excellence even today.
