“Taking into account logistical needs – declares the culture councillor My Pisan – linked to the restyling works of the Villa Bottini garden, this year the open-air cinema is moving in Piazzale Verdi, in an equally suggestive location which will give the citizens of Lucca and visitors to our city the opportunity to spend pleasant evenings dedicated to auteur cinema, with a special focus on the great Italian cinema of the present and the past, which thanks to the initiative of the Ministry of Culture can be enjoyed with a significant discount on the ticket. We also recall the space on Wednesday evening, which is traditionally reserved for children and families”.
“A new challenge for us – he says Simone GialdiniLuccacinema manager – in a very suggestive location, nestled between the Walls, the Cavallerizza and the old Porta San Donato. The support of the city spectators will be essential in order to confirm the success that the event has recorded with a crescendo in recent years, and for which the commitment made by us is maximum.”
