A credit note, to which Time has had access, provides new elements on the management of Cinecittà on the part of Nicola Maccanico. The manager, who resigned from Cinecittà SpA on 25 June 2024, had claimed in his resignation letter that he had left a company with a increased net worth of 1.2 million euros. The numbers say otherwise. Before his resignation, i.e. on 31 March 2024, the symbolic company of Italian cinema had already developed losses of over 6.5 million eurosas shown in the quarterly financial statements prepared (for internal company purposes) on 23 April 2024 by Cinecittà under the direction of Maccanico himself.
From the document it can be seen that Cinecittà had issued a credit note towards the production company Fremantle of 2.4 million euros. Well, by adding the loss that had already emerged as of March 31, 2024 with that resulting from the credit note that we are publishing (actually relating to 2023 and not 2024), Cinecittà had accrued over 9 million euros in losses. The company, therefore, was not in a condition of increasing its net worth but in opposite condition compared to that represented by Maccanico at the time of his exit from the company.

**Interviewer:** Welcome, and thank you for joining us today. We’re discussing the recent resignation of Nicola Maccanico from his role as CEO and General Director of Cinecittà. What was your initial reaction to his resignation?
**Guest:** Thank you for having me. I was surprised to hear about Nicola Maccanico’s resignation. He has been a prominent figure in Italian cinema, and his departure raises many questions about the future direction of Cinecittà, especially given its symbolic status within the industry.
**Interviewer:** Indeed, he claimed in his resignation letter that he was leaving the company in a better financial position, citing an increased net worth of 1.2 million euros. However, reports indicate significant losses prior to his departure. How do you reconcile these differing perspectives?
**Guest:** That’s a significant contradiction and highlights the complexity of financial management within such organizations. While Maccanico may have cited an increased net worth, the reported losses of over 6.5 million euros indicate underlying issues that may not have been apparent at first glance. It suggests that there were perhaps key challenges in operational efficiency or revenue generation during his tenure.
**Interviewer:** What implications do you think this has for Cinecittà moving forward?
**Guest:** The departure of a CEO, especially under such circumstances, can create uncertainty. Cinecittà will need to quickly address both its financial difficulties and its strategic vision for the future. This could be an opportunity to bring in new leadership with fresh ideas, but it also raises concerns about their ability to stabilize and attract investments to recover from the losses.
**Interviewer:** Given the reverberations in the industry, how crucial do you think it is for Cinecittà to maintain a clear narrative about its financial health and direction?
**Guest:** It’s crucial for Cinecittà to manage its narrative effectively. Transparency about its challenges and how it plans to resolve them will be essential in regaining the trust of stakeholders, investors, and the public. A well-communicated strategy can foster confidence and support, which are vital for recovery and growth.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights. It will be interesting to see how Cinecittà handles this transition and what future developments occur in the Italian cinema landscape.
**Guest:** Thank you for having me. I’m looking forward to following this story as it unfolds.
