| | Guardian Unlimited Film | News | Obituary: Danilo Donati |
 | | The young Donati had, in effect, settled in the city during the final period of the second world war, living in a boarding house where many anti-fascists had taken refuge. |
 | | Donati's flair for homecrafted improvisation was probably what attracted Fellini's attention and, for several years, he worked almost exclusively for him, designing for the director's most extravagantly visual works, Roma (1972), The Clowns (1971), Casanova (1976) and Satyricon (1969). |
 | | Donati's most recent theatrical work was the design of 250 exotic costumes for a production of Verdi's Jérusalem, the French version of the composer's Lombardi alla Prima Crociata. |
