The hope is that the Azzurri will deliver magical nights, as Edoardo Bennato and Gianna Nannini sang in 1990, the summer of the World Cup in our home. This is instead the one of the European Championship in Germany, but in the same way the Romans are ready to rally together in the hope that Italy, the reigning champion, will go as far as possible in the competition. For those who want to show off t-shirts, blue brushstrokes on their faces, flags and chants, the capital’s giant screens are ready to welcome groups of friends but also those who are alone but want to see Italy in company.

There will be two in the “Il cinema in piazza” exhibition by the guys from Piccolo America, who every year offer films for all tastes and host Oscar winners and Hollywood stars: there will be one in Monte Ciocci and one to Cervelletta Park. The first date is obviously Saturday 15th June for the Italy-Albania match, then on Thursday 20th it will be the turn of Italy-Spain, and on the 24th the match against Croatia. On July 14th, come what may, the final will finally be broadcast.
Also the CineVillage arena of Piazza Vittorio will broadcast the matches, then the program of the event will resume: on Saturday, for example, after the match against Albania the film “The War of Tiburtino III” by Luna Gualano will be screened. On the 20th, after the match against Spain there is “Rosso Speranza” by Annarita Zambrano, on the 24th Italy-Croatia and followed by “After work” by Erik Gandini. Matches also take place at the CineVillage arena in Monteverde: also in this case, after the matches are shown, the films are shown.

Finally: on the occasion of the European Championships, the Eataly brewery Rome becomes the sports beer hall: two big screens to enjoy the matches and good food accompanied by a pint. You can watch the Azzurri and also eat at The Hoxton, the hotel in Parioli which officially inaugurated the summer season.
