Cinema in Giardino a Lonato del Garda
Summer evenings at the cinema in the gardens of the Casa del Podestà
About Cinema in Giardino
Cinema under the stars at the Rocca
Cinema in Giardino is the open-air cinema festival that the Fondazione Ugo Da Como organises every summer in the gardens of the Casa del Podestà, within the monumental complex of the Rocca of Lonato del Garda, in the Province of Brescia. For a few evenings in July, one of the most evocative places in the Garda area becomes an open-air cinema hall.
How it works
Screenings are held on Thursday evenings: the ticket office opens at 9:00 PM and films start at 9:30 PM. Entry is through the ticket office of the Casa del Podestà, in Via Rocca. The programme features recent titles, from auteur cinema to popular films, in a curated and intimate atmosphere.
Cinema and heritage
The festival combines the magic of open-air cinema with the historic setting of the Rocca and the Casa del Podestà, a house museum that the Fondazione Ugo Da Como preserves and enhances. An opportunity to experience the heritage of Lonato del Garda in the summer, amidst culture, landscape, and the proximity of Lake Garda.
