After visiting the circus Liana Orfei, Fellini and his crew go to Paris, where he interviewed a writer who is particularly concerned with the history of the clown. Together with the writer, Fellini clowns old tracks, the few survivors of a world that no longer exists. The director filmed their faces now grown old and sad. The beginning of "Rome" is the Rimini-thirties in which a young guest at a religious college in Rome imagines described by his teachers and rhetoric of the fascist regime. In 1939, after twenty years, he left for the capital and discovers his true face: the small characters in a popular board, the open-air restaurants, children on the streets. Then you move to 1972, traffic jams the ring road, with Fellini running a movie in a city full of tourists, including young people who criticize him for his lack of interest in politics.

'S JOURNEY G. Mastorna
This is the disturbing story of a cursed film about the afterlife, conceived in '65 and in fact was never made. In short, Joseph Mastorna, orchestral Emilia - Romagna, in flight from Hamburg to Florence for a concert, because of a storm, makes emergency landing on the giant square of a northern German city, at the foot of an imposing Gothic cathedral. The protagonist is in a situation more and more uncertain and elusive, until you realize you have died along with all the passengers in the crash of the plane. And here begins a series of increasingly distressing evidence. This is, very briefly, the plot of a film ever made by Fellini, who has become an important key to access the other side of the universe Fellini. Fellini gave shape to the subject and comic book writer, with some changes from the original story. He also designed the scenery, the environments, furniture, costumes and the faces of the characters. How touch finale Fellini decise di allungare il titolo: “Il viaggio di G. Mastorna, detto Fernet”, che è un tipico nome da clown.
Infatti afferma lo stesso autore: “Il viaggio di G. Mastorna, detto Fernet” è sempre un film, solo che a fumetti. Le matite, gli inchiostri di china, le mezzetinte, i pennelli dell'amico Manara sono l'equivalente delle scenografie, dei costumi, delle facce, degli attori, degli arredamenti e delle luci con i quali racconto le mie storie nei film. Con un ragguardevole vantaggio in più: che forse costano un po' meno. E a voi, cari spettatori, che andate sempre di meno al cinema, auguro buona lettura e buon divertimento.

It should be explained that for an oversight, at the end of the story was coming out the word "Fine" and "End of the episode, as it should be and considering the value that Fellini superstitious attributed to these signs, it is understandable why the story did not go forward, as the film was never made for an impressive series of misunderstandings, mishaps, accidents, or the simple inability of the author.

Fellini morendo, non poteva non lasciare la leggenda di un film che nonostante fosse stato sempre presente, sin dai primi suoi progetti, non fu mai realizzato.

Fellini morendo, non poteva non lasciare la leggenda di un film che nonostante fosse stato sempre presente, sin dai primi suoi progetti, non fu mai realizzato. Un film viaggio verso la morte, un viaggio nel mondo dell’al di là. A volte immagino una risata sghemba e divertita di Fellini Mastorna che dica: “non preoccupatevi che nel viaggio nell’aldilà non si rimane bloccati … ma s’ torna!"
