Federico Pacchioni is the Sebastian Paul and Marybelle Musco Endowed Professor in Italian Studies in the Department of World Languages and Cultures at Chapman University.

‘Pacchioni’s book meritoriously sheds new light both on Fellini and on (supposed) authorship in film, presenting critical portraits of strong individualities that open to possible investigation both on these very authors and on the social imagery they contributed to shape.’- Andrea Malagut (Italica vol 92:01:2015) ‘Wonderfully scholarly study, whose coherent approach to Fellini’s work is one of the most rewarding I have read on the subject.’- Christopher Wagstaff (Modern Language Review vol 111:03:2016) ‘The book creatively combines detailed archival research and analysis of Fellini’s dream diary… Pacchioni’s work is significant and important.’- MaoHui Deng (Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies – vol 3:03:2015)
