Nicola Maccanico, the former Warner Bros. and Sky Italia senior exec, who has been spearheading the radical overhaul of Rome’s Cinecittà Studios, has stepped down after a three-year stint.
Maccanico has been instrumental to relaunching the iconic filming facilities that last year lured big shoots such as Roland Emmerich’s gladiator series “Those about to Die” starring Anthony Hopkins and Netflix’s period soap “The Decameron.”
Maccanico had been appointed by a center-left government in April 2021 when the government-owned facilities embarked on a mission tosecure a multi-million dollar loan provided by the European Union’s post-pandemic recovery fund.
