The big screen returns to the Nervi Parks arena after 26 years
The Summer Cinema in the Nervi Parks marks a return awaited for decades: after 26 years, the summer arena of the Nervi Parks, in Genoa, reopens its doors to the big screen, renewing the historic tradition of "cinema in the Rose Garden". The Nervi Parks, with their gardens overlooking the sea and the famous Anita Garibaldi promenade, are among the most beloved places in the eastern Genoa area: returning to watch an outdoor film in this setting is an experience that combines culture and scenic beauty.
From August 10th to September 18th, the festival offers a different film every evening, alternating the best titles of the latest film season with previews and great classics. Viewers can choose from comedies, art-house films, animation for families, and award-winning movies, in a lineup designed to please every type of audience.
In September, the festival dedicates a series of musical evenings to great film concerts and music biopics, from Bohemian Rhapsody to Rocketman, from Blinded by the Light to Grease. A tribute to the bond between cinema and music that beautifully concludes the season, also thanks to the collaboration with the Fondazione Teatro Carlo Felice.
The event, entrusted to Circuito Cinema Genova with direction by Alessandro Giacobbe and the support of the Municipality of Genoa, is part of a broader cultural revitalization project for the Nervi Parks. An initiative that returns one of the city's most precious spaces to its people, bringing audiences back among the stars and ancient trees of eastern Genoa.
The 2026 edition of Summer Cinema in the Nervi Parks brings the big screen back to the arena after 26 years since the last edition of "cinema in the Rose Garden". From August 10th to September 18th, a different film is screened every evening, featuring the best titles of the latest season and some previews.
In September, the festival offers a series of musical evenings dedicated to film concerts and music biopics. The event is curated by Circuito Cinema Genova with direction by Alessandro Giacobbe, in collaboration with the Fondazione Teatro Carlo Felice and the Municipality of Genoa.
