[[Federico Fellini]] is recognized as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time.<ref name="libreriamo"/> Fellini won the [[Palme d'Or]] for ''[[La Dolce Vita]]'', was nominated for twelve [[Academy Awards]], and won four in the category of [[Best Foreign Language Film]], the most for any director in the history of the academy. He received an honorary award for Lifetime Achievement at the 65th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. His other well-known films include ''[[La Strada]]'' (1954), ''[[Nights of Cabiria]]'' (1957), ''[[Juliet of the Spirits]]'' (1967), ''[[Satyricon]]'' (1969), ''[[Roma (1972 film)|Roma]]'' (1972), ''[[Amarcord]]'' (1973), and ''[[Fellini's Casanova]]'' (1976).

Personal and highly [[idiosyncratic]] visions of society, Fellini's films are a unique combination of memory, dreams, fantasy and desire. The adjectives "Fellinian" and "Felliniesque" are "synonymous with any kind of extravagant, fanciful, even baroque image in the cinema and in art in general".<ref>{{cite book |title=The Films of Federico Fellini |last=Bondanella |first=Peter |date=2002 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-511-06572-9 |location=Cambridge|page=8}}</ref> ''La Dolce Vita'' contributed the term ''[[paparazzi]]'' to the English language, derived from Paparazzo, the photographer friend of journalist Marcello Rubini ([[Marcello Mastroianni]]).<ref>Ennio Flaiano, the film's co-screenwriter and creator of Paparazzo, explained that he took the name from Signor Paparazzo, a character in [[George Gissing]]'s novel ''By the Ionian Sea'' (1901).
