When I was a student at the University of Pittsburgh I saw many movies shown by the student union, Woody Allen movies, Marx Brothers movies, old Hollywood classics, and, of course, movies by famous foreign directors. I saw many Fellini movies there. 

Right now I'm watching all Fellini movies from the beginning. Yesterday I was watching La Dolce Vita and I saw a character named Paparazzo. It rang a bell. I checked in the Wikipedia, the word paparazzi is the plural of paparazzo :)

This guy is a photographer who keeps taking pictures of famous people without asking them and without bothering about permissions or anything like that. Fellini has said he named him paparazzo because that is a slang for mosquito and he made actor the hyperactive and annoying like a mosquito.

The photo shows the famous opening scene with two helicopters.
