One of the main aim of the new Italian Audiovisual and Cinema law of 2016, as well as the "Cinecittà project" of the The National Recovery and Resilience Plan, is the internationalization of the audiovisual industry. This push for a change takes essentially two tangible forms. At first, Italy tries to attract big Hollywood productions through fiscal incentives, like tax credit, and the construction of advanced and cutting-edge studios. On the other hand, this happens also thanks international and, in particular, european coproductions, that allow the Italian producer to keep, at least, some of the film or audiovisual rights. The research aspires to analyze the effects of the audiovisual internationalization, focusing, mostly, on the institutional, economic and production of the industry dynamics. However, at the same time, the project doesn't overlook the single works and their steps realization.

MA in Media production studies and performing arts at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", from 2023 he works at the General Directorate for Cinema and Audiovisual of the Italian Ministry of Culture, taking care, mainly, of Selective contributions. His research interests are on national and international audiovisual policies aimed at promoting and regulating the audiovisual industry, focusing specifically on international co-productions.
