Rome’s 2012 film festival closed on the negative side of the economy. Part of the fail was due to weak ticket sales and minimal sponsor support.

Ferrari, who came to the eight-year-old Rome festival along with former Venice artistic director Marco Mueller last year, did not state how much of a profit the Fondazione Cinema per Roma made in 2012, saying that the event’s financial statement had yet to be approved by the board.
