Villastellone (Turin) - Italy

Borgo Cornalese is a one-of-a-kind backlot and location near Turin (Italy), spanning over 25,000 square meters and offering everything you need to bring multi-genre stories to life, from the early 1800s through the present day.

More than just a filming location, it’s a full creative hub offering, when needed, comprehensive production services and seamless access to Italy’s national and regional film incentives through our partner production company, Fargo Film.

Every euro generated by productions is reinvested in the restoration and preservation of Borgo Cornalese. By shooting here, you become part of a project to save and revive one of Italy’s hidden historic gems, turning it into a living cultural and creative ecosystem for future generations.

A cinematic dream, born to save a family estate.

It all started with a vision. When filmmaker Ludovico de Maistre took over the family estate of Borgo Cornalese with his sister Magali and cousins Francesco and Rodolfo, he knew only cinema could save it from fading into history.

From that vision came Borgo Studios, a bold experiment turned into reality. Today, this once-forgotten estate has become a thriving backlot and creative hub, where Italian and international productions bring the past back to life.
