They seem to be leaving off an English soundtrack on releases.
Satyricon has an English 'menu' and that's all besides the subtitles,
even though there are soundtracks in about 4 different languages.

I got an Italian DVD copy of Amarcord from a local library, the cover
is all in Italian, but it has one soundtrack in English.

I haven't obtained Roma yet, but looking into it, they seem to have
letterboxing on a 4:3 transfer. And no English soundtrack but I'm not
100% sure. Granted it is possible the one with an English soundtrack
might be the edited version, going by one review.

I remember seeing these movies on television with an English soundtrack.
It's probably debatable, but I prefer dubbing to reading subtitles.
Fellini dubbed anyway, even for the original Italian versions.

Check out the Madman region 4 release of Fellini's early classic La
Strada.
I'm pretty sure there's an English soundtrack, which is in better
condition than the Italian.
And since both male leads were English-speakers, hearing it in English
seems OK.

I've seen those in the video store, but I want the later films, Roma in
particular.
