Films, performances, concerts, exhibitions, meetings, guided tours and much more to enjoy a summer of culture and entertainment, but also of inclusion and participation. The extensive program of initiatives (with free or reduced admission) promoted by Roma Capitale - Department of Culture for the hottest months of the year, from 15 June to 15 October, celebrates the identity and history of Rome and is an opportunity to rediscover streets, squares, parks, beaches and neighborhoods from a new perspective.
Once again this year, cinematography is one of the big stars of the summer, with around 50 open-air cinemas, most of which are free to enter, scattered throughout the city, from Parco degli Acquedotti to Corviale, from Casa del Cinema of Villa Borghese to Tor Bella Monaca, Cervelletta and Idroscalo di Ostia. The programs vary in terms of themes and offerings: classic and contemporary films, films in original version and retrospectives, as well as meetings with Italian and international directors and actors. From 27 June to 14 September, special attention is given to the Roman coastline with “Ostia. Un Mare di Cultura” (Ostia. A Sea of Culture), a program of free weekend events, plus initiatives such as Felicittà, the Ostia Queer Festival and the Punta Sacra Film Fest.

On 18 July, the Linea Opera bus line will take the public to the premiere of La Traviata on the stage of the Caracalla Festival. Shows, performances, productions and activities for children are at the heart of the offering of TiC Teatri in Comune, the network of city theaters that spans the entire capital.
