1960s Rome

His films like 'La Dolce Vita' (1960) and '8½' (1963) captured the decadence, glamour, and existential tension of 1960s Rome with unparalleled visual poetry.

His stark, neorealist examinations of Roman society in films like 'Accattone' (1961) and 'Mamma Roma' (1962) exposed the city's social inequalities and underworld.

While not Rome-exclusive, his 1960s work like 'L'Avventura' (1960) reflected the alienation and modern anxieties that defined the era's Italian urban experience.
