The Auditorium Fellini is a versatile cultural space with 200 seats, designed to host conferences, meetings, performances and film screenings. Inside, visitors can admire a collection of cinema posters along with two artworks linked to filmmaker Federico Fellini: the “Pensatore” (Thinker) sculpture by Mario Pavesi, donated by Fabio and Fabrizio Storchi, and the painting “La voce della Luna” (The voice of the Moon) by Alfonso Borghi, gifted by the painter together with Ivo Bernardelli.

Inaugurated in 2020, the Auditorium is dedicated to Federico Fellini and Giulietta Masina. The bond between the director and the town of Reggiolo dates back to the late 1980s, when Fellini visited for the inauguration of an exhibition by his friend, Nino Za, a local artist and caricaturist. Struck by the atmosphere of the town, Fellini found inspiration for his final film, La voce della Luna, a free adaptation of “Il poema dei lunatici” (The Lunatics’ Poem), by Reggio-born writer Ermanno Cavazzoni.

Fellini returned to Reggiolo on several occasions, forging friendships with Agostino Paluan, longtime mayor and administrator of the town, and Alfredo Migliorini, who introduced him to its culinary delicacies. Reggiolo also shares ties with other figures central to Fellini’s artistic world: besides Nino Za, it was the birthplace of Giovanni Rinaldi, composer and grandfather of Nino Rota, the maestro behind most of Fellini’s film scores, and of Maurizio Millenotti, costume designer for La voce della Luna.
