Lucisano Media Group

What Lucisano Media Group does

Lucisano Media Group S.p.A. is a publicly listed Italian film and television production and distribution company headquartered in Rome, founded approximately 60 years ago and traded on Borsa Italiana under the ticker bit:LMG. The company operates a vertically integrated business across four primary activities: film production (Italian and international titles across comedy, drama, action, and family), television content production (including co-productions with Rai Fiction such as 'Mina Settembre' and 'Liberi Tutti'), theatrical and digital distribution of its 600+ title catalog, and direct cinema exhibition through 8 owned multisala cinema chains (Andromeda, Modern Multicinema, Happy Maxicinema) located in Rome, Brindisi, and Zumpano. The catalog is monetized across multiple windows: theatrical release via owned cinemas and distribution partners (01 Distribution, Vision Distribution), television licensing to Italy's public broadcaster (Rai, Rai Fiction), and streaming distribution on Prime Video and Sky.

The company is led by CEO Federica Lucisano, who in December 2025 was elected President of the ANICA Producers Union, the main association of Italian film and audiovisual producers — a position that confers significant industry influence. The founder is Fulvio Lucisano, and the family-controlled production arm Italian International Film (IIF) operates as the group's production vehicle. With 51-100 employees and reported 2025 revenue in the mid-€40M range, the company is a mid-sized, family-influenced Italian media enterprise whose competitive position rests on its library, exhibition infrastructure, and preferential access to public broadcasters rather than on technology or scale advantages. Geographic exposure is concentrated in Italy, with selective international distribution partnerships via Minerva Pictures, RaiCom, and HBO, and modest global streaming presence on Prime Video and Sky.
