Italian film productions have issued several casting calls for various upcoming projects across different regions.

Initial announcements included calls for young actors aged 16–25 and a large-scale audition organized by Palomar in the province of Ragusa. The Ragusa auditions, scheduled for August 2026, were open to a wide range of participants, including extras, musicians, and dancers.

Subsequent casting efforts expanded to the Marche and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions. In Ancona, the Marche Film Commission sought child actors for the short film ‘Congratulazioni, falliti!’. Meanwhile, director Gabriele Salvatores announced auditions in Trieste and Gorizia for the historical noir ‘La variante di Lüneburg’, seeking amateur actors and extras to join a cast that includes Toni Servillo and Sebastian Koch.
