Cinecittà (Italian for Cinema City) is a large film studio in Rome that is considered the hub of Italian cinema.
The studios were founded in 1937 by Benito Mussolini and his head of cinema Luigi Freddi for propaganda purposes, under the slogan "Il cinema è l'arma più forte" (Cinema is the most powerful weapon). The studios were bombed by the Western Allies during World War II. Following the war, between 1945 and 1947, the studios of Cinecittà were used as a displaced persons' camp --see "History of Cinecitta" under External Links below. In the 1950s, Cinecittà was the filming location for several large American film productions like Ben-Hur, and then became the studio most closely associated with Federico Fellini.
After a period of near-bankruptcy in the 1980s, Cinecittà was privatized by the Italian government.
It hosted the 1991 Eurovision Song Contest. The venue had been changed from Sanremo because of security concerns.
Pink Floyd performed, on three consecutive nights, at the studio during The Division Bell Tour on September 19-21, 1994.

Thank you for being my friend for holding my hand as the walls come closing
in. Thank you for being so strong you write all my wrongs, you’ve always
helped me along.
You were always there when I fall, you saved my life when times were so
critical, there is nothing that I could say to repay for all that you do.
Thank you for being my friend for holding my hand as the walls come closing
in. Thank you for being so strong, you write all my wrongs, you’ve always
helped me along.
I’ve learned so much from this scar tissues, hard days and nights left wide
open rooms and no one gets me just like you do, you give me reason and for
