Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentCinecittà CEO Nicola Maccanico, who is a former Warner Bros. and Sky Italia senior exec, is implementing a major upgrade and expansion of the iconic Rome studios where he recently installed Europe’s largest LED Wall on the lot near the large Studio 5 that was once Federico Fellini’s second home.
Maccanico, who has ambitions for Cinecittà to become continental Europe’s top studio facility, spoke to Variety from the lot about the symbolic significance of holding the David di Donatello Awards on the premises. Excerpts.Why is it so important to have the Davids at Cinecittà? They are being held here exactly a year after the studio’s renewal and new phase started.
It’s also a time when Cinecittà is now celebrating being fully booked through most of 2023. So there are symbolic elements of various types: the Italian film community is back together in person at Cinecittà at a time when, after a year on the job, we’ve managed to fill up the studios.
And we must continue to make sure that, just as the studio’s renewal takes place, we continue to maintain full occupancy. How are you going to show off Cinecittà to TV viewers in the Davids ceremony? We will use the Ancient Rome set for arrivals, and then roll out a very long red carpet that will join the set with the studio where RAI is holding the live ceremony.
I really want to thank [Italian Film Academy head] Piera Detassis and RAI general manager Carlo Fuortes because they’ve understood how important is it right now to join forces. The Davids, RAI and Cinecittà in different ways represent the Italian government’s push to support and elevate the Italian industry and we are celebrating this together.As an Italian film industry expert what

Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentSince Cinecittà Studios was founded in 1937, the sprawling facilities have driven the golden age of Cinema Italiano.The famed city of cinema has also, albeit intermittently, been a magnet for international productions and endured wild fluctuations in the country’s political climate, before recently reemerging as a new frontier for the country’s film and TV industry.Located in the heart of the Mediterranean basin, a short ride from the center of Rome and its airports, Italy’s top production hub has to date, hosted more than 3,000 films that have earned 53 Oscars.During the period following World War II, the studios forged close ties to Hollywood, which helped the Italian industry gain its international standing.
