Comments About Us

{I have worked with Fabio Di Segni and Film Italy on several occasions on location in Italy. He is a fantastic fixer, location scout and producer. He is a consummate professional and knows just what your production will need. Relaxed and calm but plenty going on under the hood when it’s needed. I think I just made him sound like a Ferrari

{am absolutely 100% happy to recommend Fabio. He is a fabulous fixer – hard-working, creative, flexible and astonishingly good humoured. He is a lovely guy to work with, always happy to accommodate the sort of requests that would make most people scream with frustration. He is very hands-on on set, always helpful and looking for ways to make the film better. He always has a smile on his face and is happy to help arrange delicious dinners for clients and crew that remind us all that what we do is about as much fun as you can have while working. Italy is a great place to shoot, and Fabio is the best of Italy.

{The Italian segment of Top Gear turned out really brilliantly, and everyone here was thrilled with the result. It wouldn't have been possible without Fabio's support, both in pre-production when he took care of so many of our varied, and often last- minute demands, and during filming with his reliable, friendly and reassuring presence on location.

{I worked with Fabio and Marinella whilst filming in Italy for an Australian TV series. I can definitely recommend their company based on their extensive knowledge and experience of filming around Italy. Fabio has a wealth of experience and directed us to great locations for filming based on our requirements. Fabio was also able to source us extra crew members and dealt with last minute changes / problems swiftly and with professionalism. I would definitely hire them again when next filming in Italy.

{Fabio is a world-class Fixer. We were in need of an expert with unparalleled connections for our episode of "Eat the World with Emeril Lagasse" featuring Emeril and Chef Nancy Silverton. Fabio delivered! It was a stress--free, seamless shoot. He took care of all our needs making us and the celebrity Chefs extremely happy.

{I worked with Fabio a number of years ago on a documentary about Napoleon for BBC2 in the Uk. I found him very good at negotiating local bureaucracy and getting us the access we needed, and he was good at thinking on his feet when we needed to find opportunities at short notice. Our shoot in Italy with him went very smoothly.

{I worked with Fabio a few months ago on a social media campaign for our client, Simply Be. We had a shoot based out in Rome and this was brand new territory for both myself and our company; Fabio was nothing but helpful, knowledgable, patient with our ever changing schedules and budgets and did a fantastic job at proving locations and advise on local culture. Our client was over the moon with him being present on our shoot and delivered our favoured location for the entire shoot (beautiful view across Rome at sunset!) Would highly recommend and we hope to work with him in the future!

{He did all the preproduction, assigned all  the needed permits and did the whole orga. It was a pleasure, he is a very nice guy, competent and with good ideas.
Our team enjoyed to shoot with him and the filming was a great success.

{I spent 3 weeks in Europe shooting for Travel Channel, a large network in the United States for a travel / adventure show and we were highlighting a number of locations including Italy. Fabio joined me for the entire European trip and it wouldn't have been a success without him. He helped in all areas including pre-production, helping us get around, knowing where to eat, speaking the language, currency, permits, etc. He even helped shoot sometimes when needed. Aside from ensuring each shoot went smoothly, he also did a great job at keeping spirits high. I traveled all over the world for 2+ years filming this TV show and Fabio was my favorite Fixer. He brings maturity, experience, a great attitude, knowledge, and the right mindset needed to make sure we produce a high quality segment each time. Bravo!
