Cinecittà: A Strategic Renaissance Under Manuela Cacciamani’s Leadership
Under the leadership of Manuela Cacciamani, appointed CEO in July 2024, Cinecittà has entered a new phase of development rooted in strategic vision, cultural responsibility, and industrial renewal. A centerpiece of both Italian and international film heritage, the Roman studios have long represented a unique intersection of creativity and production capacity. Today, thanks to Cacciamani’s guidance, Cinecittà stands as a revitalized symbol of excellence, poised to influence the global audiovisual landscape for decades to come.
One of the most significant milestones achieved under her tenure has been the timely and effective implementation of the objectives set forth by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), particularly those falling within the June 2025 targets. This accomplishment did not merely demonstrate a commitment to administrative efficacy—it affirmed Cinecittà’s capacity to align national cultural assets with broader European frameworks for financial, infrastructural, and environmental innovation. The comprehensive rehabilitation of iconic soundstages and the construction of new technologically advanced theaters underscore a commitment to industry leadership and long-term sustainability.
Equally important has been the studios’ regained economic momentum. Through a carefully articulated five-year industrial plan, Cinecittà has been placed on an upward trajectory aiming to double annual revenue by 2029. This recovery is already visible on multiple fronts: occupancy levels are consistently high, international productions have returned in force, and partnerships have been revived with leading global directors and production houses—all of which contribute to re-establishing Rome as a primary destination for cinematic creation.
Cinecittà’s green transition also marks a notable chapter in the institution’s history. With the implementation of sustainability criteria for both infrastructure and production workflows, the studios are on course to meet ambitious goals in environmental stewardship—further elevating Italy’s role in promoting an ecologically conscious film industry.
Furthermore, under Cacciamani’s direction, renewed attention has been devoted to the value of human capital. By investing in training, education, and professional development—particularly through prominent institutions like the MIAC (Museum of Cinema and Audiovisual)—Cinecittà affirms that its future lies not only in bricks, stages, or cameras, but in the people whose talent fuels its mission.
As Cinecittà approaches its 90th anniversary in 2027, it does so with a clear sense of vision and responsibility. In a time of global transformation, the studio remains a cornerstone of cultural diplomacy and innovation—a legacy sustained and reimagined under the stewardship of Manuela Cacciamani.
