On Location

Premium scripted series across Italy's period and contemporary worlds

Here is how this works in practice. Italian drama series production sits at the centre of the European prestige-television boom, anchored by Rai Fiction, Sky Italia and the producer constellation that delivered Gomorra, My Brilliant Friend, The Young Pope, Suburra and Romulus — Cattleya, Wildside, Lux Vide, Palomar, Indigo Film and Fandango. We provide production support for scripted series shooting on Italian soil, drawing on department heads from the Cinecittà community in Rome, Lumiq Studios in Turin and the Mediaset stages in Cologno Monzese.

Here is the short of it. Our team sets up multi-episode scheduling across the Roma Lazio, Apulia, Campania, Toscana and Sicilia Film Commission territories, with location blocks at Renaissance palazzi in Florence, Baroque Val di Noto, Naples' Spaccanapoli and Quartieri Spagnoli, the Dolomites, Lake Como villas and the Apulian whitewashed towns that anchor much of the country's today's screen iconography.

Here is the breakdown. Period drama is one of Italy's signature outputs. We work with the costume houses Tirelli Costumi and Annamode, prop suppliers around Via Tuscolana, set decorators and historical consultants who specialise in Roman antiquity, Renaissance, Risorgimento and Fascist-era authenticity. Today's series shoot across the cities that define current Italian drama — Roman office districts, Milanese finance towers, Neapolitan working-class neighbourhoods, Sicilian provincial centres — with permits set up through Italian Film Commissions and the Soprintendenza heritage offices where protected sites are involved.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Global co-productions are processed through MiC, the 40 percent tax credit framework and Eurimages, and our team supports the bilingual crews, treaty compliance records and CCNL Cinema Audiovisivo labour terms these structures need. Post-prod runs through Italian VFX houses and audio post facilities working to streaming-sites technical specs.
