Rainbow S.r.l. (also called Rainbow S.p.A.) is an Italian television studio co-owned by Iginio Straffi and ViacomCBS.[1] It is based in Loreto, Marche and was founded by Straffi in 1995. Rainbow began as an animation studio, providing creative services for larger companies until it secured enough funds for original productions. It is now best known for producing the animated Winx Club and Huntik: Secrets and Seekers television series, both created by Iginio Straffi. The studio has also produced live-action shows (Club 57), theatrical films (Gladiators of Rome), and original comics (Maya Fox).
Oct 27, 2011 Noah and the Rainbow Covenant. Part of Love Connects Us, Grades 4-5. Perhaps you've heard the story of Noah and the flood, from Hebrew scripture, or the Bible. It goes something like this: Did you ever make such a mess of your homework that you just got crazy mad and frustrated and wanted to crumple the whole thing up and throw it away?
In February 2011, Viacom International Media Networks purchased 30% of the company for 62 million euros (US$83 million),[2] leaving the remaining 70% to Iginio Straffi.[1][3] Viacom's Nickelodeon networks broadcast Rainbow's shows worldwide.[4] Nickelodeon's American studios have also collaborated with Rainbow on multiple productions, including Winx Club since 2010 and Club 57 in 2019.[5]
In 2015, Rainbow purchased fellow animation studio Bardel Entertainment.[6] In 2017, Rainbow acquired a majority stake in Iven S.p.A., which owns the production company Colorado Film.[7]
In April 2018, Straffi and Viacom listed the company on the Italian stock exchange.[8] The listing followed years of consideration regarding which country's stock market to enter (the United States or Italy).[9] According to Straffi, this presented 'a real dilemma' as Viacom was already listed on an American stock exchange,[9] but Rainbow performed best in European countries.[9] Straffi and Viacom withdrew Rainbow from the stock market in May 2018, citing a lack of suitable market conditions.[10]
