Ancona in the Showcase

Ancona has already been the setting for iconic cinema scenes and this further event will constitute a boost for film tourism, a growing sector which can represent an element of development and growth for our city as an experiential destination. Film productions, during inspections in the city, have underlined how the landscape, the monuments and the suggestive views of Ancona are ideal natural sets for. the filming, easily conveyable on social media, thus promoting both the films and the image of the city itself”.
