"Federico F." is a semi-fictional novel that chronicles the last nine months of Italian film director Federico Fellini's life, from January to October 1993. Angelucci reveals how creatively Fellini treated personal events, as if they were screenplay ideas to be developed.

Gianfranco Angelucci received his doctorate in Art History from the University of Bologna with a thesis on Federico Fellini. He collaborated with Fellini in various capacities until the year of Fellini's death (1993). He wrote the screenplay for Intervista, one of Fellini's most celebrated films (1987) which won the Special Prize at Cannes and First Prize at Moscow Film Festival. For ten years Angelucci has worked in advertising and has created and managed campaigns for important national companies with the assistance of well known celebrities.
