Fabio and Marinella were outstanding from start to finish, delivering a successful shoot under complicated and highly changeable circumstances. They conducted a thorough recce, secured local permissions, and organised all logistics seamlessly.

On location, Fabio remained calm and good-natured, keeping our contributor onside while skilfully negotiating access. At short notice he arranged filming with the coastguard and several other private entities.

After the shoot, Marinella translated all our rushes to a very high standard and at short notice. They are an excellent team, and I would not hesitate to work with Fabio and Marinella again.

Fabio and Marinella are brilliant Fixers. They set up all the characters for a documentary I made. Tough access and it all went so smoothly. I would highlu recommend working with them.

I had the pleasure of working with Fabio as our Fixer in Italy during production on Top Gear Australia, and his contribution to the series was exceptional.

Fabio’s local knowledge, industry relationships, and composed approach under pressure were invaluable to the production. Whether navigating regional authorities or solving last-minute changes, he ensured our shoot ran smoothly and on schedule.

One of the standout achievements was securing full filming permission to close the road to Mount Vesuvius and transform it into a race track for the show — no small feat given the scale, sensitivity, and logistical complexity involved. His relationships, negotiation skills, and deep understanding of local authorities made what could have been an impossible task entirely seamless.

Beyond logistics, Fabio has a sharp eye for sourcing epic, cinematic locations across Italy that elevated the scale and ambition of the series. It’s not just his deep local expertise, trusted relationships, and excellent food recommendations that make him an invaluable partner on the ground — his wonderful sense of humour and warm, positive personality make him an absolute pleasure to work with.

I would not hesitate to work with Fabio again and highly recommend him to any international production looking to film in Italy.

Mei Rogers - Producer

If I'm producing any TV show or documentary in or around Italy, Fabio Di Segni is my very first call! He's connected to everyone and every location throughout Italy. He can move mountains, gondolas and everything in between to make your show, series, commercial or documentary a success. Fabio is the only fixer I'll ever work with in Italy!

Laurie Brian

I traveled the world for 3 years filming a Travel Channel show and Fabio was my fixer for almost a month in Italy and surrounding areas. Fabio was my favorite fixer throughout all 4 seasons. Super helpful, experienced, and makes it a great time!

Aaron Schwartz

We worked with Fabio on the local preparations of a feature film shooting in Tuscany, where he worked as both location producer and fixer on the film. He is an excellent professional, and I can only recommend him to anyone planning to shoot in Italy. He communicates very well with the locals, which is also a very important part of the job.

Peter Szajki

Fabio has a wealth of experience and knowledge of Italy that is second to none. He directed us to great locations based on our filming requirements. Fabio was also able to source us extra crew members and deal with last minute changes / problems swiftly and with professionalism.
I would definitely hire him again when next filming in Italy.

Natalie (Producer - Australia)

Fabio is the best fixer I've worked with and an absolute necessity when filming in Italy. I've worked with him on several shoots for a Discovery documentary series that involved difficult access, filming permissions and contributor finding.

He is brilliant at making things happen, works quickly and dynamically, and is extremely responsive - anticipating our needs and the next steps to take before I even suggested it. He is amazing at tracking people down and helping to bring them onside. He has the gift of the gab and is a great conversationalist - invaluable when, as a non-Italian speaker, you hit so many brick walls and find yourself getting nowhere!

He's a pleasure to be with on location, will make sure everything runs very smoothly and always keeps a cool and calm head. He's great fun to be around and always keeps the interests, welfare and comfort of the crew as a top priority - suggesting the best places to stay and eat (like a quick stop at his favourite gelato place in Rome - still the best I've ever eaten!).

Dan Clarke

I was the director on Top Gear Australia and worked with Fabio, it was a large, complex travelling circus with 3 presenters, 3 tracking vehicles, drone ops and multiple support vehicles on a very tight schedule. There were many locations on the road trip but at one stage we split into a parallel 3-team race across Rome. Fabio was calm, good- humoured and very organised throughout, smoothing the way with good English-speaking drivers and getting all the permissions necessary. We even had a full police escort out of Rome!

He's very experienced, communicates very well and he will find you the best places to eat and stay. I highly recommend him as a fixer for your shoot.

James Bryce

Working with Fabio Di Segni was an absolute highlight of our Italian shoot. His expertise, resourcefulness, and calm command of even the smallest details made the production run seamlessly — no small feat amid the beautiful chaos of international filming. Fabio anticipated every need, often before we did, and his professionalism elevated the entire experience. Any time our work brings us back to Italy, he’ll be our first call.

Amber Goerish ( Citizen Pictures)

Fabio DeSegni is a true professional. I have worked with him many times over the past 20 years, and I wouldn’t film in Italy without him. Many times I have recommended him to other producers and productions, and he never fails to impress.

He brings a positive, can-do attitude to every situation and challenge and has a superb work ethic. His commitment to the project and the production process is rarely seen in this industry.

He never failed to save us money, time and many headaches with his knowledge of every corner of the country, his ability to negotiate and secure lodging, vehicles and experts, his professional ability, and his sincere, wonderful, friendly demeanor. There was no problem I presented that he couldn’t fix, and more importantly, he fixed problems I didn’t even know existed. He always brings fresh options, opinions and ideas to the table.

I highly recommend him for all the above reasons, in addition to the fact that he is reliable, punctual, diligent, thorough and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would work with him any day.
