Set in the director’s hometown of Rimini, I Vitelloni follows the lives of five young vitelloni, or layabouts, who while away their listless days in their small seaside village. Fausto, the leader of the pack, marries his sweetheart, but finds himself constantly distracted by other women. Meanwhile, would-be playwright Leopoldo goes on working on his dreary plays, dreaming of staging them one day. Clownish Alberto still lives at home with his mother and sister, Olga, while boasting of preserving the family honor by watching over her. Stuck in adolescence, the five friends stumble into various misadventures, as they seek to spice up their uneventful provincial lives. Ultimately, one of them breaks free from their self-imposed paralysis and moves on.<\/p>\n

Peculiarites<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Nobody wanted to distribute I Vitelloni, so we went around proposing rentals, and I remember some awful screenings where viewers gave me a nasty looks; I do not remember their names, and even if I do I\u2019d better not mention them. I remember there was a 2 p.m. screening, during the summer, for the president of a large company. He came in tanned, wearing a golden bracelet, the car-salesman type that women do like (\u2026). The film was not accepted there, but another film distribution company took it. They didn\u2019t like the title I Vitelloni, and they proposed another title: Vagabondi!, with an exclamation mark. I said \u2018okay\u2019, but I suggested they should have the title uttered by a very strong voice on the soundtrack. They accepted the title only when Pegoraro gave them two more films that would definitely be very popular. They did not want Alberto Sordi\u2019s name on the first posters and on the first copies of the film, and they told me: ‘he doesn\u2019t attract people, he\u2019s unpleasant, viewers don\u2019t stand him’”.
\n(Federico Fellini, Fare un film, Einaudi, Torino, 1980, p. 53-54)<\/p>\n

“The most elusive protagonist is Alberto Sordi, and Fellini wanted him badly. The comedian was performing with Wanda Osiris in Garinei and Giovannini\u2019 variety show. Consequently, to be able to hire him the crew had to attend his shows in several cities, including Viterbo and Florence. The Carnival Ball was shot in Teatro Goldoni – unfit for use and full of mice – while a flat in Florence was used to shoot a shop selling vestments and altar furnishings”.
\n(Tullio Kezich, Fellini, Milano, Camunia, 1987, p. 193)<\/p>\n

Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I Vitelloni confirms the most vivid satirical vein of our cinema. It depicts the grey atmosphere of the province (those streets at night, echoing the layabouts\u2019 silly jokes and songs, the poor but respectable houses these hoodlums finds refuge in every night after their idle wanderings, the periods of artificial euphoria and the beauty contest party. Some psychological attitudes (dandy Fausto, Albert the jester – role played by Sordi \u2013 and \u2018signorino\u2019 Monaldo) appear to be interpreted by a very acute observer and psychologist who, as a good moralist, knows how to extract a meaning from his story, which is not meant to be exclusively a \u2018divertissement\u2019”.
\n(Giulio Cesare Castello, Troppi “leoni” al lido, “Cinema” (nuova serie), a. VI, n. 116, 31 August 1953)<\/p>\n

“Fellini is fresh, his main credit is that he does not like pre-established and complicated things, but voices his own feelings and sufferings, moods and moments that are seemingly unimportant. However, he\u2019s really an artist in those very moments, and everything is meaningful”.
\n(Mario Gromo, “La Stampa”, 9 October 1953)<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fellini-en","category-filmography"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nI Vitelloni -
