Cinema sotto le stelle — San Donato Milanese

A cinema arena under the stars

When summer arrives, in San Donato Milanese, cinema leaves the theaters and is enjoyed outdoors. Cinema sotto le stelle is the event that every year, from late June to mid-August, enlivens the garden of the Simona Orlandi Central Library, at via Martiri di Cefalonia 51, transforming it into an open-air cinema arena. A now-usual appointment of the city's summer, in the province of Milan.

Two evenings a week

Screenings are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting at 9:30 PM. The garden gate opens half an hour earlier, giving the audience time to settle in under the stars. The program is designed to please different tastes: comedies, dramas, and animated titles suitable for families alternate throughout the summer weeks, in a schedule that accompanies the residents of San Donato from late June to the first days of August.

Free, subject to availability

The beauty of Cinema sotto le stelle is that it's free: admission is open to all screenings, subject to availability. It's a simple and popular way to spend summer evenings, gathering outdoors to watch a film together, in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.

Municipality and Progetto Lumiere

The event is the result of collaboration between the Municipal Administration of San Donato Milanese and Progetto Lumiere, the entity that curates the city's film programming. In case of bad weather, screenings are not canceled: they move indoors to Screen 1 of the Multisala Troisi, ensuring the cinema appointment even when the stars hide.
