Car Filming Services

Car filming in Italy blends some of the world's most iconic roads with the deep stunt and rigging skill that has served Italian features and global shoots for decades. Chase sequences thread through Rome's Centro Storico and the EUR district. Hero plates run the Stelvio Pass, the Amalfi SS163 coastal road, and the cypress-lined avenues of Val d'Orcia. Sicilian sequences for shoots like the Romulus series and recent Bond unit work keep drawing second units to Palermo and Catania.

Our crews work with Action Group in Rome, Italy's long-standing Russian Arm operator. We pair them with Cinegrip and Stop-Service for hood, door, and interior POV rigs, plus low-loader sites and process trailers built around the camera-car fleet tied to Cinecittà. Marine versions of the same rigs handle the boat-mount work for Venice canal sequences, Lake Como hero plates, and the Sardinian Costa Smeralda yachting shoots that Italian commercials and feature units often book. Skilled marine operators come through the Italian Coast Guard liaison network for Cinque Terre and Amalfi coastal work.

The same camera-car teams cover the motorbike sequences along the Amalfi SS163, the high-mountain Stelvio passes, and the desert test tracks at Nardò and Balocco, where car brands often shoot launch films.

Permit work runs through the Prefettura and the Polizia Stradale for autostrade and superstrade closures. The Carabinieri set up road sealing for closed-set car chases, while the Polizia Municipale manages ZTL Centro Storico access in Rome, Florence, Milan, and Naples. Highway closures on the A1 Milano-Roma, the A4 between Milan and Venice, and the A2 down to Calabria need a lot of lead time. Our coordinators file the records alongside the IAP self-rules forms for branded car shoots.

Mounting options cover Russian Arm gyro-stabilised cranes that carry ARRI Alexa and RED packages, motorcycle tracking units for split-second action, and the Italian precision-driver pool that handles Fiat, Ferrari, and Lamborghini brand work. The country has also built global stunt-coordinator credits through Cinecittà unit shoots. Process-trailer and low-loader rigs run sound-isolated dialogue plates for feature work where the talent has to drive the scene, and sync sound is captured on the move.

Safety cars, qualified marshals, and on-set medics back each closure. We handle INAIL safety forms and ENPALS contributor planning for unionised crew under the CCNL Cinema Audiovisivo framework. The forty per cent Italian Tax Credit applies to qualifying spend through DGCA accounting, with delivery and audit carried through to final completion certification.
