54 summer evenings Under the stars of the cinema in Piazza Maggiore. A program that will run from 19 June to 14 August, and which will intertwine the evening program of the 36th edition of the Il Cinema Ritrovato festival (25 June – 3 July). A Piazza Maggiore that opens again, without restrictions, in the sign of a return to one of the great shows of our city, to one of the most loved rites by the Bolognese and by the many tourists who have returned to Bologna.
A program that opens and closes praising peace (inauguration on Sunday 19 June with the pacifist anthem by Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator, to close on Sunday 13 August with the denunciation of the war delirium made grotesque by Stanley Kubrick in his Il dottor Stranamore) and that until July 10 will experience the great restored classics and cineconcerts that revolve around the heart of the Il Cinema Ritrovato festival, to then run through the months of July and August through tributes to Piera Degli Esposti, Gianni Cavina, Monica Vitti , Pier Paolo Pasolini, the retrospective dedicated to Woody Allen.
