Casa del cinema

Casa del Cinema is a cultural center within Villa Borghese featuring multiple screening rooms equipped with digital projection and a film documentation library. The venue includes an outdoor theater nestled under pine trees on the grounds, designed for open-air presentations.

The center opened in 2004 within a restored historical building located in Villa Borghese. This establishment created a dedicated venue for film art and cinematic discourse in Rome.

The center functions as a meeting place where filmmakers, screenwriters, and actors present their work and engage in discussions with audiences. These encounters reveal how Italian cinema evolves through direct dialogue and creative exchange.

The venue is accessible by public transportation and situated at the edge of Villa Borghese park. Visitors should check the current program before visiting, as scheduling varies throughout the year.

During summer evenings, the outdoor theater screens films beneath pine trees with seating for around 200 people. These screenings often feature films in their original languages, creating a distinctive viewing experience.
