Cinema Italia, the about-face: it’s closing. Rejected customers: «It wasn’t expected»

ANCONA A completely unexpected closure, at least for the management of Cinema Italia which received a visit from the Municipality’s supervisory commission on Wednesday. Just a few small findings. “They assured us that they will let us do the last days of screenings” Chiara Malerba, director of the Corso Carlo Alberto cinema, told Corriere Adriatico just two days ago. And instead last night the shocking email.

The delusion

At 9pm there was a screening of the film “Kinds of kindness”, a film by director Yorgos Lanthimos. The audience was about to enter, but at the door they found the director of the cinema: «We’re sorry, but we have to close. The film will not be shown this evening »she justified herself. Shortly before, in fact, the ownership of the property received a warning from Suap to open the hall. A pec that seemed to have been averted a couple of days ago, but which instead fell like a shingle on the head of the director of Cinema Italia. «I didn’t expect it – she stated – we had perceived the desire to let us finish the season, given that there are about ten days left. But no.” Malerba is astonished. The projection machines had been turned on, everything was ready. But a few minutes after it darkened in the room she was forced to turn around, to the disappointment of the many who were approaching.

The summer

«It will mean that we will speed up all the works to get ourselves in order in time for the next season» underlined Malerba, who in the meantime is preparing to inaugurate the two outdoor summer arenas: the cinema on the Mole Vanvitelliana gully and the Tropicittà or the outdoor version of Cinema Italia. «No problem on Tropicittà – he adds – we can move forward easily». As well as at the Mole Vanvitelliana, which will inaugurate screenings by the end of the month.
