About us
IDEACINEMA is a Rome-based film and television company, founded in 2004 by producer Claudio Saraceni and run today by his sons Federico and Jacopo.
The family has been producing since 1952, when Fausto Saraceni began the family’s activity in film. Claudio Saraceni (Rome, 1943–2025) picked up the baton in the late 1960s, producing Italian commercial hits, including several films in the Fantozzi saga, as well as work with Federico Fellini, Giuseppe Tornatore, Lina Wertmüller and other major directors.
Today, Federico and Jacopo lead an independent company working across commercial cinema, auteur films, animation, series and international co-productions, with the practical discipline of a company that has to make its own films stand up.
We also work with incoming productions: bringing foreign films to Italy, structuring the local production, managing the shoot and, where appropriate, joining as an Italian co-producer.
