Movie Italy is a small private film-services and location initiative acting as a de facto film commission for the Romagna region of Italy, founded by Thomas Cicognani (operated via his company D-Arena). It offers location scouting and management, technical personnel and equipment support, tax credit/financing consultation, and cine-tourism promotion. Note: the former movieitaly.com domain now redirects to Cicognani's personal portfolio site, so the brand may be dormant or absorbed into his broader business.
