Regional fund Italy, Rome
Run by Regione Lazio, through Lazio Innova
Lazio's fund for international co-productions shot in the region around Rome, meant to pull foreign partners toward local companies and to show the less visited parts of the region on screen. Two editions a year in most years; a low-budget sibling, Lazio Next Generation, opened in October 2026.
