About this activity
Through a round-trip private transfer from the center of Rome you'll get to Cinecittà, Italy's foremost film studio founded in 1937 by Mussolini and used for many iconic Italian and international films. If you're passionate about cinematography and the history of cinema, then you can't miss this tour. You'll get to visit several impressive sets, including 1500s Florence and ancient Rome, and there are interesting exhibitions, one dedicated to the work of Fellini, and another exploring the history of the studios, with some hands-on exhibits, and, most excitingly, an American submarine set.
In the 1950s many major Hollywood films were made there, including Cleopatra. This way, Rome became nicknamed the Hollywood on the Tiber. Cinecittà also became Fellini's stomping ground and La Dolce Vita was filmed in Theatre 5, within which the director re-created Via Veneto. Later, Spaghetti Westerns dominated the schedule, as directors such as Sergio Leone directed films such as A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Recent blockbusters made here include Ben Hur and Zoolander 2. Get ready to enter the fantastic dimension of movies on this unmissable tour.
