Cinema under the stars in the Enchanted Garden of Rocca Maggiore
Cinema alla Rocca is the open-air summer film series in Assisi (province of Perugia, in Umbria). The venue is one of the most scenic imaginable: the Giardino degli Incanti (Enchanted Garden), the green space at the foot of the Rocca Maggiore, the medieval fortress that overlooks the city. For about a month, every evening, the public gathers here to watch a different film on the screen set up within the ancient walls.
The program features about twenty-five films: from the season's hits to films awarded at major festivals, to classics of cinema history. The review also participates in the national "Cinema Revolution" project, supporting Italian and European cinema, with reduced ticket prices for eligible films. Some evenings are accompanied by introductions and thematic meetings curated by local associations.
Promoted by the Municipality of Assisi in collaboration with Cinema Esperia of Bastia Umbra, Cinema alla Rocca combines the experience of watching films under the stars with the beauty of a symbolic place in the city. It is now an anticipated event of the Assisi summer.
For the summer of 2026, Cinema alla Rocca confirms its appointment with open-air cinema at the Rocca Maggiore in Assisi. In the year of the eighth centenary of the death of Saint Francis, the review includes a special section dedicated to the filmography on Clare and Francis of Assisi, alongside the usual program of the best films of the season.
The initiative is promoted by the Municipality of Assisi in collaboration with Cinema Esperia of Bastia Umbra.
The complete program with the evening schedule of films and screening times will be published by the Municipality of Assisi in the weeks preceding the start of the review, generally at the beginning of August. A mini-review dedicated to films about Clare and Francis of Assisi is announced for the 2026 centenary.
Detailed program coming soon.
Rocca Maggiore can be reached on foot from the historic center of Assisi via a panoramic climb. The city is served by the Assisi-Santa Maria degli Angeli station (bus to the center) and the SS75 by car.
Screenings begin late in the evening. Tickets can be purchased directly at the box office set up at the screening venue. Reduced prices are available for films participating in "Cinema Revolution".
