The Creative Europe Desk Italia is the national contact point for Creative Europe, the European funding programme dedicated to the cultural and creative sectors for 2021–2027. The office is part of the Creative Europe Desk network, co-financed by the European Commission to promote Creative Europe in each country participating in the Programme and to offer free technical assistance to cultural operators. The Creative Europe Desk Italia is managed by the Ministry of Culture – Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity in partnership with Cinecittà. The Creative Europe Desk Italia is formed of four offices:
- the Culture Office, which is located at the Ministry of Culture and stems from the many years of experience of Cultural Contact Point Italy, the national contact point for the Culture Programme 2007–13
- the MEDIA Offices in Rome, Turin and Bari, which were established thanks to the many years of experience of the former MEDIA Desk Italia and Antenna MEDIA Torino for the period 1996–2013. The MEDIA Office in Bari opened in July 2014
