You will find fantastic scenery, exciting rides, stylized cafes and shops, as well as plenty of entertainment for every taste.

Cinema Park "World of Chinechitta"

Park Mir Chinechitta appeared not far from Rome not so long ago, in the summer of 2014. It is entirely dedicated to cinema and is open in the buildings of the former Roman film studio. The motto of the park: “Entertainment worthy of an Oscar” was not chosen by chance, because three-time Oscar winner Dante Ferreti and an amazing composer, author of numerous soundtracks to famous films by Ennio Morricone worked on its creation.

The territory of the park is huge and occupies about 150 hectares. Here, 20 exciting attractions, 8 film sets, 3 laboratories, 4 theme restaurants and 4 theaters are comfortably located.

The whole park is divided into thematic zones dedicated to various films.
