This small village has also conquered the cinema: in 1948, director Roberto Rossellini chose Furore as the setting for his movie “Amore”, shot with Anna Magnani. The episode, written by Federico Fellini, tells the poignant story of a shepherdess who is convinced that she carries a divinity within her.

Rossellini and Magnani fell in love with the place and bought two typical “monazzeni”, fishermen’s houses on the beach, still known today as Villa del Dottore and Villa della Storta. The latter now houses a permanent museum dedicated to Anna Magnani, the guardian of a tormented love that marked the history of the town.

During the shooting of the movie, a letter changed the couple’s destiny forever. The letter was signed by Ingrid Bergman:

“Dear Mr. Rossellini, I have seen your movies Roma città aperta and Paisà and I liked them very much. If you need a Swedish actress who speaks English very well, has not forgotten German, can hardly be understood in French, and knows how to say 'I love you' in Italian, I am ready to come to Italy to work with you.”

It was the beginning of the end between Rossellini and Magnani. The actress never returned to Furore. She donated her house to the old caretaker, leaving behind the memory of a great passion consumed between the echoes of the sea and the rocks.

Today, Furore is an unmissable stop for lovers of cinema, nature, and history, with its breathtaking views, cliff paths, and its legendary fjord, which continues to inspire travelers and artists from all over the world.
