Cinecitta fire

The BBC reports that a fire broke out last night at the famous Cinecitta film studios in Rome, and destroyed over 3,000sq m.

It started in a warehouse that stored sets - such as those used in the HBO/BBC TV show Rome - and spread. Luckily, it did not reach the historic areas where Federico Fellini filmed, or where Ben Hur was shot. No one was hurt or injured.
