Dario Franceschini: music video clips are works of art. And they are eligible for tax credit

Music video clips are from today equated in all respects with film, video art and even video games: the decision comes from the minister for cultural heritage, Dario Franceschini, responding to the petition launched by Italian musicians, authors and singers, who asked MiBACT to give video clips the same treatment that other audiovisual products that have access to tax credit already enjoy. As of this morning, therefore, tax credit for music clips as well.

“Music videos,” Franceschini said, “have interpreted and interpret at their best the popular imagination, making entire generations dream and are works of art. For this reason there was no reason to exclude them from tax benefits, and this morning I corrected an error: I signed the decree that recognizes the benefits of tax credit to this specific audiovisual product, because there is no doubt that video clips are art and creativity.”
