Italy's Chamber of Deputies approves cinema and audiovisual reform bill
The Italian Chamber of Deputies has approved a reform bill for the cinema and audiovisual sector in its first reading, with 218 votes in favor and 6 against. The legislation now moves to the Senate for examination.
A central component of the reform is the creation of the Agency for Cinema and Audiovisual, scheduled to begin operations on January 1, 2028. This agency will assume the operational, management, and implementation functions currently handled by the Ministry of Culture, while the Ministry will retain political direction, strategic oversight, and inspection powers.
The reform aims to modernize the industry through a reorganized tax credit system based on company size and work quality, and by strengthening social security and welfare protections for workers. The bill was developed through a consensus between various political factions, following calls from industry professionals for a unified approach to support the sector.
