Listen Later

It’s the challenges you face and the passion for your craft that get you ready to handle the level of your dream. This is the inspiration that pushed Iginio Straffi. Iginio is the Founder and President of Rainbow Group, headquartered in Le Marche region, Italy.


Rainbow is the largest, leading animation studio in Europe, well known for its world famous TV show entitled “Winx Club”. Under Straffi’s visionary leadership, Rainbow rapidly grew into an international entertainment Group consisting of 10 companies. Today, Straffi is busy making movies and has just recently released the 1st 3D movie produced entirely in Italy, which has grossed over USD 50 million internationally.


Truly a world-renowned artist, I can’t wait to dive in and learn more about what it takes to get a show on Netflix.
