Apriti Cinema, films under the stars return to the Uffizi square

All screenings scheduled from June 26 to August 6. Free admission

The nights of the Florentine summer will light up with movies to watch under the stars in the Uffizi Galleries courtyard, which is hosting Apriti Cinema again this year.

The summer film arena in the courtyard of the Uffizi renews its appointment in the Florentine Summer program, scheduled from June 26 to Aug. 6, organized by the Amici dell'Alfieri Association, with programming curated by the Cinema Area of Fondazione Sistema Toscana, in collaboration with the Uffizi Galleries.

A program of films that reflects the line traced by the programming of La Compagnia cinema-the Casa del Cinema of the Region of Tuscany-in which ample space is given to documentaries, the best of Florentine festivals with an international vocation, and tributes to the greatest performers and masters of cinema of all time.

The films are screened in the historic location of the Cortile degli Uffizi, at 9:45 p.m., with free admission (subject to availability), shown in the original language with Italian subtitles (and in some cases with English subtitles). A cultural proposal that is always popular with the public, which goes to intercept residents, Italian and international tourists, involved in a path that ranges from the history of cinema to contemporary and new languages.

Highlights include Bacall 100 and Mastroianni 100; the tribute to Massimo D'Anolfi and Martina Parenti by the Festival dei Popoli; Midsummer Nights by Lo Schermo dell'Arte film festival; the review dedicated to Oscar winner Ga- briele Salvatores for the Fiesole Prize; the films that tell the story of art in relation to cinema proposed by the Uffizi Galleries; the stage of INCinema, a festival of inclusive cinema, for people with sensory disabilities; along with titles from Ireland, Latin America, the Middle East, Korea, China, India, the United States, France-and of course from Italy.
