News – continues Caruso – which we welcome and which, thanks to the important work carried out by the Calabria Film Commission, will offer Cosenza a new opportunity for territorial promotion, confirming a vocation that our city has been able to consolidate over time. This is an important opportunities for the many Calabrian professionals involved in the production and for the entire local supply chain, confirming how cinema can be not only culture, but also a driving force and generator of a significant economic impact that affects not only the capital city, but also the entire urban area. Cosenza – concludes the mayor – once again, does not only present itself as the backdrop to a story, but, through renewed visibility, creates the conditions to establish itself as an increasingly attractive place for a film industry that recognizes and enhances the enormous potential”.
