About this event
A large open-air arena set among the pines of Villa Borghese, screening a film every night at half past nine with no admission charge. The 2026 arena is named for Ettore Scola, ten years after his death, and the summer season also runs a Marilyn Monroe centenary strand and a Mel Brooks tribute. Films are generally shown in original language with subtitles.
Why we picked it
Free arthouse cinema under the pines, every single night, subtitled — unusually accessible for non-Italian speakers.
Free entry
Roma Culture lists the arena as free admission ("ingresso libero"), up to available seating capacity.
