Information concerning requests to film in the state museums in

Information concerning requests to film in the state museums in Florence.
• First of all the applicant has to submit a written application via e-mail to the Photograph
copyright department of the Superintendency, by filling in the related downloadable form.
Then the department sends the application to the museums concerned, whose directors must
examine the feasibility of the project and grant the request.
• Filming is allowed only during the closing time of the museums or in the closing day to the
public.
• Filming is subject to the advance payment of a fee, which is estimated under the provisions
of the Italian law, (that is to say according to the article 108 of the Legislative Decree
42/2004).
• The costs of the museums attendants, who usually follow a troupe or the TV crews during
their work, are charged to the applicant.
• The applicant must specify the total amount of hours necessary to film inside each museum,
the number of the troupe members and the kind of technical equipment he intends to use.
• The applicant has to be in possession of an indemnity insurance policy against possible
damage to the property, to people or objects, whose limit of liability amounts at least to
1000.000,00 Euro.
• The Photograph copyright department informs the applicant of the amount of the fee, by
sending him a written estimate with the instructions for the payment. It must be made only by
bank transfer before the beginning of the film shooting.
• Since filming is permitted just in the closing day or in the closing time of the museums and
only by previous appointment, we recommend submitting the application at least three weeks
before the expected date.
If the applicant is interested in several Florentine state museums, he has to submit a single
application including the names of all the places, where he wants to film.
