“Felliniana. Rome, Women, and Dreams”, curated by Accademia Italiana

Rome, January 23, 2026

Fifteen projects are included in the publication edited by Gangemi Editore, including clothing, sketches, photographs, jewelry, and short films created by students enrolled in courses in Fashion Design, Jewelry Design, Photography, and Visual Arts. It is a collective narrative that explores the female universe, dreams, and the Rome of the Oscar-winning director, transforming them into creative material.

The result is a visual and performative narrative that looks to the future while rooted in the legacy of the past. It is a unique opportunity in which the sensitivity and language of the new generations enter into direct dialogue with one of the greatest masters of cinema, creating a bridge between memory and the present, poetic vision and design research.
