Italy in 2022 made several landmark strides in the international entertainment arena: an Italian play, Stefano Massini’s “The,” garnered five Tony Awards, a prize the country had never conquered; Roman rock band Måneskin scored a Grammy nomination; and even as domestic box office plunged this year, Italian film exports mushroomed.
“International” is becoming the Italian film industry’s mantra. Even though ticket sales at local movie theaters, estimated to clock 45 million admissions in 2022, are down more than 50% compared to the pre-pandemic year of 2019 – when they reached the 100 million mark – the head of Italy’s motion picture association Francesco Rutelli recently trumpeted figures showing that Cinema Italiano exports have more than doubled in recent years.
And for those who think Måneskin is just a vacuous Gucci-clad glam rock band, don’t forget that they stood up for Ukraine by writing “We’re Gonna Dance on Gasoline,” which opened their first Coachella set, with frontman Damiano David yelling “Fuck Putin!” on the Mojave stage in the middle of the new song.
