Cinecittà on Track to Build the Biggest One-Stop-Shop in Europe

Cinecittà, once a Hollywood rival in Tuscany, is reviving its cinematic legacy with €300 million EU funding to become Europe's top film studio. The complex is transforming into a cutting-edge hub, expanding its soundstages and adding state-of-the-art facilities like LED stages and editing suites to attract major productions. CEO Manuela Cacciamani took over after Nicola Maccanico stepped down amid a slowdown but aims for €30 million turnover with a 15% profit margin by 2026, as big names like Mel Gibson and Ridley Scott begin filming there.
