Amarcord () is a 1973 comedy-drama film directed by Federico Fellini, a semi-autobiographical tale about Titta, an adolescent boy growing up among an eccentric cast of characters in the village of Borgo San Giuliano (situated near the ancient walls of Rimini) in 1930s Fascist Italy.
The film's title is a univerbation (multiple words combined to form a single word) of the Romagnol phrase (), 'I remember'. Fellini elaborated further by suggesting that the Italian words ('to love'), ('heart'), ('to remember') and ('bitter') could be expressed simultaneously through the Romagnol word. The title then became a neologism of the Italian language, with the meaning of 'nostalgic evocation', 'fond memory'.
