Fellini’s birthplace

Viale Dardanelli, 10, 47921 Rimini RN, Italy

Fellini was born at home, at number 10 in via Dardanelli, on January 20, 1920. The house numbering was then different from the current one.

Fellini was baptized a few days after his birth, as was tradition at that time. In the parish of San Nicolò, by don Gaetano Pesaresi. Two godparents: Cesare Canuti (of Gaetano) and Clara Canuti (of Gennaro). Clara Canuti was the owner of number 10 in Viale Dardanelli. It appears that Urbano Fellini and Ida Barbiani rented a room from Canuti for work reasons.
