...Ward concluded that the silos could in deed be converted into twelve-story apartment buildings for an estimated cost of $2,000,000. Work will begin next January, and the first tenants are expected to move in in early 1971. Plans call for installing floors either by pour ing cement into forms at every level or by affixing prefabricated circles. Jackhammers will cut windows and outside balcony spaces in the battleship-gray walls, which are eight inches thick, and elevators will be installed inside.

"If Petronius' work is a full-blooded description of the atmosphere of those times," Fellini admits, "the film that I adapted from it is a panorama, an allegorical satire of our present-day world...
