A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.
In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two or more last names (or surnames) may be used. In China, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of India, the family name is placed before a person's given name.
The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.
The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.
Giovanni "Nino" Rota (3 December 1911 – 10 April 1979) was an Italian composer, pianist, conductor and academic who is best known for his film scores, notably for the films of Federico Fellini and Luchino Visconti. He also composed the music for two of Franco Zeffirelli's Shakespeare films, and for the first two films of Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather trilogy, receiving the Academy Award for Best Original Score for The Godfather Part II (1974).
During his long career Rota was an extraordinarily prolific composer, especially of music for the cinema. He wrote more than 150 scores for Italian and international productions from the 1930s until his death in 1979—an average of three scores each year over a 46-year period, and in his most productive period from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s he wrote as many as ten scores every year, and sometimes more, with a remarkable thirteen film scores to his credit in 1954. Alongside this great body of film work, he composed ten operas, five ballets and dozens of other orchestral, choral and chamber works, the best known being his string concerto. He also composed the music for many theatre productions by Visconti, Zeffirelli and Eduardo De Filippo as well as maintaining a long teaching career at the Liceo Musicale in Bari, Italy, where he was the director for almost 30 years.

Plot: The town of Papayal is located in the Amazon jungle. It is ruled by violence, greed and vice. It has grown around mines where gold is extracted, and where mercury has severely destroyed the environment. Apart from the local bar and brothel, the settlers have nothing to do but work on the mines. Every once in a while a man called Fellini arrives and projects films. One day the mother of teenager Isabel and her lover steal the gold from miner El Gallego and flee from Papayal. The girl is forced to pay their debt, by working on the brothel. Isabel tries to escape, but she is caught by the police, and meets Cae, a young man who is bought by a trader to work in the gold mines. Back on Papayal, Isabel falls in love with Cae, who tells her that both her mother and her lover have been killed.

Plot: In the Mediterranean in 1941 the Italians start using underwater chariots to mine the undersides of allied ships. Explosives expert Lionel Crabbe arrives in Gibralter to organise defences, but finds only two British divers available to help him. Even more worrying, it seems likely that the Italians are secretly using neutral Spain across the bay as their key base.

I saw it in College at an outdoor movie night on the University of Pittsburgh.The copy isn't the greatest quality but it's the only one I could find with English Subtitles. Several viewers have stated the subs are an incorrect translation/crap. Unfortunately it's the only copy I could find. I claim no rights to this video but have provided it to educate the public on Fellini's film legacy.
A tribute. Here Martin Scorsese lovingly recalls his first encounters with Federico Fellini's films and their influence on his own work.
No século XVIII, o libertino bibliotecário Giacomo Casanova (Donald Sutherland) é um grande colecionador de boas histórias. Visitante frequente da nobreza, ele viajou para todas as capitais européias e conheceu as mais diversas culturas, além de manter alguns relacionamentos amorosos.
When Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina), a naïve young woman, is purchased from her impoverished mother by brutish circus strongman Zampanò (Anthony Quinn) to be his wife and partner, she loyally endures her husband's coldness and abuse as they travel the Italian countryside performing together. Soon Zampanò must deal with his jealousy and conflicted feelings about Gelsomina when she finds a kindred spirit in Il Matto (Richard Basehart), the carefree circus fool, and contemplates leaving Zampanò.
Nino Rota (December 3, 1911 - April 10, 1979) was an Italian composer. He is particularly remembered for his work on film scores, especially The Godfather series and a number of films by Federico Fellini. Rota was born into a musical family in Milan, and studied at the conservatory there under Ildebrando Pizzetti. Later, the conductor Arturo Toscanini encouraged him to go to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to study. This he did, where he worked under Fritz Reiner, amongst others. He later returned to Milan, where he wrote a thesis on the renaissance composer Gioseffo Zarlino. Rota wrote his first film score in 1944 for Zaza, a film directed by Renato Castellani. He later met the director Federico Fellini while the latter was working on his first film, Lo Sceicco Bianco. The two collaborated o...

Биографија: Федерико Фелини Његово име асоцира на ексцентрично и екстравагантно, на славу и надреално. Федерико Фелини је био редитељ чији је стил био тако посебан да чак и они који нису гледали његове филмове имају представу о томе шта значи израз „фелинијевско". Фелинијева опсесија били су снови, фантазија и машта. Стил његових филмова био је узвишен и вулгаран, смешан, поетичан и забаван, врвио је од кловнова, карневала, парада, калуђерица, свештеника и проститутки. „Дангубе", „Улица", „Кабиријине ноћи", „Сладак живот", „Осам и по" - ови Фелинијеви филмови утицали су на све озбиљније филмске редитеље. Његово стваралаштво је прилично лично, његов свет био је врло исцрпна потрага за мистеријама живота. Желео је да схвати, кроз религију, а понекад и кроз магију, зашто постојимо. Ф...

Once he comes to you With a friendly smile
Promises joy and everything you want
He is going to try to win your confidence
All you have to do to sail through the clouds Is to try
He will say to you Feel yourself great and strong
Say no to all temptations no no no
What a felony - Hear the warning of your mind
What a felony It's the last help of this kind

To open the gate To a better world
What a felony You think it's the easiest way you know
What a felony The addiction is something you can't control
What a felony - you'll fight against the time
What a felony You can't control your mind
