About this event
Testaccio's summer arena marks Ferragosto with a free open-air screening of the cult comedy Panarea on the 14th followed by a 90s-themed after-party, then the traditional Cocomerata (watermelon party) on the 15th with a DJ set of Italian 90s and 2000s hits. A permanent food village keeps the night going under the stars.
Why we picked it
A free, distinctly Roman way to spend Ferragosto weekend — open-air cinema and a watermelon party rolled into one neighbourhood arena.
