Ennio Flaiano at Ara Pacis Museum
Ara Pacis Museum will host the memory of Ennio Flaiano on Sunday July 4th. The event is called Travel Notes: a pleasant virtual journey in Rome. The wonderful Ara Pacis Museum, built by Meier one of the most important architects of this century, hosts this event within the framework of Rome on Stage, a all-summer festival.
This is one of the first meeting that Associazione Culturale Eventi Arte has setup: the cultural association decided to present Ennio Flaiano at first as his name still echoes along Rome’s ways for his writing and his screenplays. Flaiano loved and hated Rome; he lived Rome urban transformations among the 50s and the 60s, reporting roman people life style, their vices and their virtues.
What makes his notorious is his friendship and collaborationship with Federico Fellini. Whit Fellini he took part to a lot of films makings, writing screenplays and subjects for his films among which: Lo sceicco bianco, I vitelloni, La strada, 8 e mezzo, Giulietta degli spiriti. He wrote also a lot o other screenplays for other directors such as Rossellini, Damiani, Risi and Petri. Living the core of the cinematographic landscape of those years, Fellini wrote also a great number of stories, short stories and diaries: in 1947 he won the Premio Strega, the most important Italian literature prize, with “Tempo di uccidere” (Time to kill). Italian Literature environment celebrates Flaiano every year with the Flaiano Award.
Those are the premises to include Flaiano in the Rome on Stage festival. Who could put on stage Rome in a better way? He will bring to you a special view of Rome, an artistic view from which you could understand the particular point of view on reality expressed by Fellini’s films. Ara Pacis is the right place for this cultural meeting with the just-run past of Rome: it is a symbol of time synthesis. As a matter of fact in Ara pacis museum meets each other the antiques city roots with the contemporary extreme city development: Augustus meets Meier in there. They give rise to an eternal moment.
