After a period of closure, the historic CineTeatro Italia in Ancona reopens its doors—thanks also to the many locals who donated to save a cherished cultural landmark. To celebrate its Return, organizers are launching a slate of special events, starting on Wednesday, December 4 with a “Return Party”: from 7:00 p.m., guests are invited to a tasty aperitivo with DJ set and an art jam session.
The renewed space has also inspired CiocoCiak, a trio of dates blending crafts, cinema, and fine chocolate: each afternoon features a workshop, followed by a screening with hot chocolate or herbal infusion.
