Dear Readers,

MEDIA Salles brings this year, to the fourteenth edition of Ciné, the map that allows you to know - with a simple click - the dissemination of Italian cinema in 28 European territories in the past year.

For each of the countries analyzed, the three titles that have placed themselves at the top of the ranking of Italian films, co-productions included, are presented.
You will also find the title of the Italian film or the majority Italian co-production that - if it is not present on the podium - has obtained the best position in the top ten.

Among the titles that have been most appreciated by the European public that loves directors or stories of the Bel Paese, those by Luca Guadagnino, Paola Cortellesi, Alice Rohrwacher and Paolo Sorrentino stand out.

"Challengers", the co-production by Guadagnino, is in the top trio in 25 territories, while "C'è ancora domani/There’s still tomorrow" has placed itself in the top ten in 12 countries. Also flattering are the placements of "La chimera", which appears among the top ten in 6 territories, and of "Parthenope", which earns fourth place in Bulgaria and Sweden.

Stories that highlight the great personalities who - in different times and fields - have built Italy's prestige worldwide are always fascinating.

Proof of this is the co-production "Ferrari", which appears 17 times in one of the three positions on the podium, and "L'ombra di Caravaggio/Caravaggio’s shadow", which is in the top ten of the Czech Republic, a territory that confirms its great attraction to the culture and art of the Bel Paese.

I therefore invite you to begin the journey to discover "made in Italy" cinema in Europe with the help of the map that you will find herebelow!

See you at Ciné,

Paolo Protti
President of MEDIA Salles
