A cinema under the stars series in the courtyard of the Teatro San Pietro
In the heart of the Piana Rotaliana, the Outdoor Summer Cinema in Mezzolombardo is one of the most anticipated events of the warm season. Every summer, the courtyard of the Cinema Teatro San Pietro, in Piazza Pio XII, turns into an open-air arena where the big screen meets the starry Trentino sky. The series, promoted by the Municipality of Mezzolombardo in collaboration with the Coordinamento Teatrale Trentino, offers several evenings of free screenings between mid-July and late August.
The Teatro San Pietro courtyard, with its flat paving and sheltered location in the historic center, is the ideal setting for summer cinema. Evenings begin at sunset, when the heat of the day gives way to the coolness of summer nights. The space, managed by the parish and the Municipality, also hosts the prose season, weekend film programming, and the «Il piacere del cinema» series throughout the year.
The series alternates animated titles designed for children and families with auteur films and major hits for adult audiences. The formula is the classic open-air cinema style: you arrive in the courtyard, take a seat, and enjoy the screening in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere, typical of Trentino towns in summer. The evenings also serve as a meeting point for the community of Mezzolombardo and neighboring towns.
Mezzolombardo is one of the main centers of the Autonomous Province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige, overlooking the famous Piana Rotaliana, land of the Teroldego wine. The town combines a lively cultural life with a top-tier food and wine tradition, and in summer, it brings its squares and courtyards to life with events like this film series. Cinema under the stars is a simple and authentic way to experience the summer evenings of the village.
For the summer of 2026, the Cinema Teatro San Pietro courtyard hosts six evenings of outdoor cinema, on Wednesday nights between July and August. July screenings start at 9:30 PM, and August screenings at 9:00 PM. The free series is promoted by the Municipality of Mezzolombardo.
The calendar alternates animated films suitable for children and families with popular titles for adult audiences, offering a varied program for the entire community.
Mezzolombardo is located about 15 km north of Trento, along the Brennero state road. By car, it can be reached from the San Michele all'Adige/Mezzocorona exit of the A22 Brenner motorway. By train, the Mezzocorona-Mezzolombardo station is served by the Brenner line and the Trento-Malé railway. The Teatro San Pietro courtyard is in Piazza Pio XII, in the town center.
The series is free and takes place in the courtyard. Screenings generally begin in the evening (approximately between 9:00 PM and 9:30 PM). In case of bad weather, please check for any updates on the Municipality's channels.
