Over 60,000 visitors for the Fondazione’s summer events

On the closing night of the Arena at Santa Maria della Pietà, scheduled for today, Friday July 26^th, Fondazione Cinema per Roma takes stock of its summer activities to register a total of over 60 thousand spectators across the two months of screenings.

Since June 10^th, the Fondazione has organised 113 events with free admission that involved the entire Capital city: Casa del Cinema, with its great arena in the heart of Villa Borghese, the Parco degli Acquedotti, with the third edition of Roma Cinema Arena; Tor Bella Monaca, Corviale and Santa Maria della Pietà, with three outdoor movie theatres, which for the second year in a row have brought cinema to the city’s suburbs; the MAXXI, inside its Auditorium.
