Cinema Classico, Independent movie theater in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Turin, Italy
Cinema Classico is a movie theater located beneath the porticos of Piazza Vittorio Veneto in Turin, preserving classical architectural elements throughout its space. The main screening room holds 177 seats and features modern projection and sound equipment for watching films.
The theater opened in 1913 under the name Impero and later became known as Vittorio Veneto before adopting its current name. A renovation in 2014 updated the facilities while maintaining the building's original structural foundation.
The theater screens European arthouse films in their original languages with subtitles, connecting audiences to cinema from across the continent. Visitors discover movies that reflect different storytelling traditions and artistic approaches from European filmmakers.
The entrance is located beneath the arcades of the square, providing a sheltered arrival in this busy public area of Turin. Plan to spend time exploring the surrounding plaza, as the theater sits within a major public gathering space with plenty of foot traffic.
The theater retains the last remaining gallery structure in Turin, offering viewers an elevated seating area for watching films. This architectural detail creates a distinct experience compared to standard theater layouts found in most cinemas.
