According to David Bellos, in his great Tati biography, Fellini offered Tati the role of Don Quixote, & "he was inclined to accept." But the project fell through.

The photographer Secchiaroli was the inspiration for the paparazzo character in Fellini's La Dolce Vita.

Pierluigi Praturlon is one of the great on-set photographers; this is an amazing shot!

The Oscar on the desk was for La Strada, the 1st of four he received for Best Foreign Language Film. Plus Masina's Best Actress Oscar, & Fellini's Honorary Award.
They're gonna need a bigger desk.
