Yes, more good food, more gelato, another centuries old church with amazing pieces of art. Ho hum. But today we also made a cinephile's must stop -- Rome's Cinecitta. It's an active film studio that includes a small museum and a building dedicated to the great Federico Fellini. Cinecitta has -- since its 1937 opening -- been the primary shooting site for films by such directors as Fellini, Martin Scorsese, Sergio Leone, Terry Gilliam, William Wyler and Bernardo Bertolucci just to name a few. But I will herewith dispense with words and provides some of the pictures I took during our visit in the belief that each is worth 1,000 words.
