Marco Grimaldi

Television professional with over 30 years of experience in TV production, cinematography, and prime-time productions.
Graduated from the “Roberto Rossellini” State Institute of Cinema and Television in Rome. I began my career with RAI in 1987 as a camera operator, collaborating with news channels such as TG1 and TG2, before being hired permanently in 1990.

Since then, my career has developed across historic TV studios — such as Rome’s Teatro delle Vittorie — and encompassing major RAI productions. Working alongside some of the most renowned personalities and presenters in Italian television.
Over the years, I progressed from camera operator to steadicam operator, then to filming coordinator, and in 2012 I was appointed Director of Photography.
