About Cinema alla Rocca
Cinema under the Assisi sky
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.
A quality program
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.
An event for everyone
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.
Cinema alla Rocca — edition 2026

The initiative is promoted by the Municipality of Assisi in collaboration with Cinema Esperia of Bastia Umbra.
