Incredibly, I've only heard of (and seen) three of these - namely, those that are at least 30 years old.
What's even more incredible is that this list does not include "Black Cat, White Cat"!
Another one not listed: "Gypsies are Found Near Heaven," aka "Queen of the Gypsies." It's a musical, I think. I have to watch it soon.

Isn't LA STRADA about Italian performing gypsies?

It's been decades since I saw that; I couldn't tell you.
At any rate, one may also want to check out the 1970 National Geographic book "Gypsies: Wanderers of the World." It has gorgeous photos and it covers many nations, including some in the Middle East.
La Strada is not about Romani, but about itenerant performers, like any traveling circus. Just a very marginal and low-class one. A specactular movie,
and Fellini's best in my estimation, followed by with La Dolce Vita and 8 1/2.
