“The nomination of Procida as Italian Capital of Culture 2022 is a magnificent sign to look to the future with positivity in the year of the restart. Says Titta Fiore, President of the Film Commission Regione Campania.
The project built around the island as a place of aggregation, experimentation and knowledge has proven to be a winner, as has the idea of culture understood as a social laboratory and not just heritage. Campania has come together to support Procida in a complex and choral proposal for a success of which we are all proud”.

"The success of Procida fills us with joy and satisfaction for the work done by the Procida 2022 Promotion Committee, which has been able to enhance a long-term project and a look towards innovation" - says Maurizio Gemma, Director of the Film Commission Regione Campania. The many adhesions of artists collected in videos by the FCRC and the films we have made are inspired by the great ability to network and the vision that already in the title of the candidacy, "Culture does not isolate", finds its happiest and most effective expression".
Titta Fiore and Maurizio Gemma enthusiastically comment on the MIBACT's choice of Procida as Italian Capital of Culture 2022. The Film Commission Regione Campania in fact, it supported the island's candidacy with the production of the presentation short film "Procida. The island that does not isolate" with the narration of the actress Lucianna De Falco and the direction of Simona Cocozza and Samantha Cito. The FCRC also accompanied Procida with a social promotion entitled "Culture does not isolate", involving many figures from the Campanian entertainment and culture scene such as the actors Toni Servillo, Marco D'Amore, Massimiliano Gallo, Cristina Donadio, Luisa Ranieri, Francesco Di Leva, Ludovica Nasti, Elisa Del Genio, Libero De Rienzo, Andrea Renzi, Maria Pia Calzone, Fru and Fabio Balsamo of The Jackal, and the writers Maurizio de Giovanni and Valeria Parrella, who supported the island with their video messages.
