Archive rights · Risi family

Through Livia Risi, Cinqo has direct access to the filmographic rights of Dino Risi — director of Il Sorpasso, I Mostri, Profumo di donna — and Claudio Risi. This means the archive does not simply document Italian cinema history: it is part of it. No other production company in the world holds this combination of archival material and family rights.

Why this is different

An archive that
becomes a production asset.

Most production companies look for a producer. Cinqo already has one of the most awarded in Italian cinema history — Pietro Innocenzi. Combined with the Risi family's exclusive filmographic rights, this is a structure that no other company can replicate.

Combined with Pietro Innocenzi's 50 years of industry expertise, his international network and his proven track record across film and television — this is a production structure unlike anything else operating today.

"Cinema is the most powerful cultural language of the twentieth century. We are its archive. Now we are also its future."

Documentaries

The truth is in the archive. Three million photographs, documents and artworks from the golden age of Italian cinema — unpublished, unfiltered, waiting to be told. No other production company in the world can make a documentary about Italian cultural history from the inside. We can. And we will.
