Dolce & Gabbana Restore Classic Italian Film

DOLCE & GABBANA has helped to restore visionary film Fellini Satyricon, originally directed by the legendary Federico Fellini - who is also known for creating La Dolce Vita. The celebrated Italian fantasy-drama - first released in 1969 and scooping four prestigious Silver Ribbon awards - was described by Fellini as "science-fiction from the past". It will open New York Film Festival on October 13. "Italian cinema by Fellini, Visconti, Antonioni, Rossellini and De Sica, just to mention a few, has given us so much; it has enabled us to dream and it has inspired our fashion and our images, which we use to recount life," Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said today. "It was therefore only natural for us to contribute to the restoration of Satyricon, a film by a director whom we love and whom we wish younger generations and foreigners would get to know better too." The label has provided financial support in helping to recreate the original quality of the film's images, ensuring that cinema fans are able to enjoy the story long into the future.
