STANDING MOVIE SET OF IMPERIAL ROME IN CINECITTA' STUDIOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CINECITTA' è un complesso di teatri di posa di eccellenza e rilievo internazionale situato lungo la via Tuscolana nella periferia orientale di Roma e attivo dal 1937.

Di proprietà di Cinecittà Luce S.p.A. e in gestione dal 1997 a Cinecittà Studios S.p.A., Cinecittà costituisce il vertice dell'industria cinematografica italiana ma è utilizzata anche per produzioni estere e televisive.

A Cinecittà sono stati girati più di 3000 film, 90 dei quali hanno ricevuto una candidatura all'Oscar, 47 dei quali hanno vinto la prestigiosa statuetta. Celebri registi, nazionali e internazionali, vi hanno lavorato: da Federico Fellini a Francis Ford Coppola, da Luchino Visconti a Martin Scorsese.

CINECITTA' (Italian for Cinema City) is a large film studio in Rome that is considered the hub of Italian cinema.

The studios were founded in 1937 by Benito Mussolini and his head of cinema Luigi Freddi for propaganda purposes, under the slogan "Il cinema è l'arma più forte" (Cinema is the most powerful weapon). The studios were bombed by the Western Allies during World War II. In the 1950s, Cinecittà was the filming location for several large American film productions like Ben-Hur, and then became the studio most closely associated with Federico Fellini.

After a period of near-bankruptcy in the 1980s, Cinecittà was privatized by the Italian government.

On August 9, 2007, a fire destroyed about 3000 m² (32,000 sq. ft.) of the Cinecittà lot and surroundings. The historic part that houses the sets of classics such as Ben-Hur were not damaged, however a good portion of the original sets from the HBO/BBC series Rome were destroyed.
