Notti di Cinema a Villa Bonelli

Cinema under the stars in Municipio XI

Every summer, the Villa Bonelli park in Rome's Portuense district lights up with the screen of the Cinevillage arena. Notti di Cinema a Villa Bonelli is one of the most beloved open-air cinema festivals in the capital, promoted by ANEC-AGIS Lazio with the support of Municipio XI Roma Arvalia Portuense. With approximately 400 seats, the arena turns a green corner of the neighborhood into a gathering place where the big screen meets the local community.

Quality programming

The lineup features the best of the cinematic season: Italian and European titles, auteur films, and international works, accompanying the audience from the beginning of summer through early September. Evening screenings take place outdoors in a relaxed, informal atmosphere that has become a classic of the Roman summer.

Cinema Revolution: tickets at 3.50 euros

The festival participates in Cinema Revolution, a Ministry of Culture campaign that allows audiences to watch Italian and European films at a reduced price. It is a perfect opportunity to rediscover the magic of the cinema and shared viewing at affordable costs, in a charming outdoor setting accessible to families, young people, and film enthusiasts alike.

Guests, meetings, and special events

One of the hallmarks of Notti di Cinema a Villa Bonelli is its evenings with special guests: directors, actors, and authors introduce their films and engage with the audience. Alongside the screenings, the calendar is enriched by cultural initiatives such as Libri&Spritz, featuring book presentations and dialogues on culture and current events, as well as a refreshment area that makes the arena a true evening meeting point for the neighborhood.

A cultural hub for the local area

More than just a summer program, the Villa Bonelli arena has become a cultural landmark for Municipio XI and the entire city of Rome, in the Lazio region. It offers residents of Portuense and Magliana a chance for social interaction and culture just steps from home, helping to enhance the neighborhood's green spaces during the hottest months of the year.
