Tullio Pinelli (1908-2009)Federico Fellini is a cinematic legend. He created movies of originality and moves from neo-realism to his own dreamscapes with fluid strokes of a brilliant painter. But he had help. Tullio Pinelli was a long time friend and co-writer on almost all of Fellini's screenplays. He was there from Variety Lights (1950) all the way through to Ginger & Fred (1986). He was as important to Fellini as Giulietta Masina.
After spending an entire century on this planet, Mr. Pinelli decided to take his leave. His contributions to the artform of cinema is enormous and it is highly possible that the Maestro might have become a lesser filmmaker if it was not for Pinelli's support, talent and skills.
Tullio Pinelli passed away on March 7th of natural causes, because at the age of 100 things just don't work as well as they used to.
