It has arranged the creation, writing and direction of a high number of series broadcast with first-rate results and with excellent ratings on RAI1 and RAI2, and furthermore distributed in several countries all over the world and for the home video too. We distribute and exploit high quality children and family oriented entertainment properties. We identify properties that we believe to have the greatest potential in the marketplace. Apart from the productions of GRUPPO ALCUNI itself, we represent also other national producers in the worldwide market.
GRUPPO ALCUNI distributes educational proposals as regards the content and the graphic qualities, developing children’s creative intelligence, learning attitudes, social skills and positive values through humour and interactivity.

Our main goal is to continually provide brand new animation and to circulate popular Italian cartoon characters and series (all of them are coproduced together with RAIFICTION) around the world. Our aim is to go for an “all-embracing distribution”, that means that we handle together TV rights, licencing and publishing for each property of ours.
