About AriAnteo

AriAnteo is the grand open-air cinema festival that accompanies Milan's summer, organized by Anteo with the Municipality of Milan. Throughout the warm season, some of the city's most evocative locations become open-air arenas: from the Courtyard of Palazzo Reale to the Fabbrica del Vapore, from the Cloister of the Incoronata to CityLife. Premieres, Oscar-winning films, titles from major international festivals, restorations of classics, and events with guests: a rich and high-quality program that brings the big screen outdoors into the heart of Lombardy.

Milan's Open-Air Cinema

AriAnteo is the historic summer open-air cinema festival in Milan, organized by Anteo — one of the benchmarks for auteur cinema in Italy — in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan. Every summer, the event transforms symbolic places in the Lombard capital into cinema arenas under the stars.

The Arenas in the City

The festival is held in multiple locations, each with its own atmosphere:

  • AriAnteo Palazzo Reale — in the courtyard of Palazzo Reale, in Piazza del Duomo, in the monumental heart of the city
  • AriAnteo Fabbrica del Vapore — in the post-industrial spaces of Via Procaccini
  • AriAnteo Incoronata — in the evocative Cloister of the Incoronata on Via Milazzo, with a double screen and headphone audio
  • AriAnteo CityLife — in Piazza Elsa Morante, in the modern CityLife district, with headphone audio

A Quality Program

AriAnteo's schedule combines premieres, the year's Oscar winners, titles from major international festivals, and restorations of classics, with special evenings and guest appearances. It's an offering that blends entertainment and film culture, true to Anteo's mission.

A Milanese Summer Ritual

Active for decades, AriAnteo has become an unmissable fixture of Milanese summers: watching an open-air film in locations like Palazzo Reale or the Cloister of the Incoronata is a unique way to experience the city during the warm months.
