Minerva Pictures, a privately owned company headquartered in Italy, was founded in 1953. It employs approximately 100 people and reported $22.4M in revenue as of 2025. Specializing in entertainment content rights, the company functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer. Operating as an independent Italian film production, distribution, and digital publishing company in the audiovisual market since its foundation, Minerva Pictures expanded its operations under the leadership of Ermanno Curti and Gianluca Curti, which drove internationalization and the acquisition of extensive film libraries. In 2019, Santo Versace joined the firm as a corporate partner alongside Chief Executive Officer Gianluca Curti. The company maintains an intellectual property library comprising over 2,500 titles, which includes auteur cinema, cult horror, giallo, and spaghetti westerns. Its contemporary original production catalog encompasses feature films, documentaries, and episodic television, with titles such as the Paramount+ original series Miss Fallaci, Eran Riklis's Reading Lolita in Tehran, and the biographical docuseries Marta – Murder at the Sapienza Campus.
On March 23, 2026, Minerva Pictures took on international sales for the feature documentary *A War On Women*, a Hot Docs title exploring the feminist movement in Iran from the 1960s to the present day. Previously, on March 18, Minerva Pictures concluded deals at Hong Kong’s Filmart (March 17-20), selling Giulio Base’s religious drama *Judas’ Gospel* to Media Nikke in South Korea in partnership with its sister company TVCO. Earlier, on February 12, the company secured worldwide sales rights for the Chilean punk rock dramedy *Matapanki*, the debut feature of Diego ‘Mapache’ Fuentes, ahead of its European premiere at the Berlinale. This followed the January 16, 2026 designation of Kleber Mendonça Filho's *L’agente segreto* as "Film of the Critic" by the National Union of Italian Film; Minerva Pictures distributes the film, which opened in theaters on January 29, 2026.
