With the participation of Giuseppe Tornatore need Gianni Morandi, tomorrow evening, coinciding with the Republic Day of June 2, opens in the Piazza San Cosimato a Trastevere, In the heart of Roma, the traditional open-air film festival that enlivens the evenings in the capital every summer. Thanks to the extraordinary boys of the Little America led by the thirty year old Valerio Caroccoi who organize it and who, in the meantime, a few hundred meters away, have opened the Cinema Troisi which has set the record for tickets sold in Italy for each single room.
Participation in the films of Cinema in the square, which starts from Trastevere but also extends to the Roman suburbs with two other arenas, is free but the preparation of the projections and the complementary services (including cleaning) cost around 600 thousand euros. Local authorities usually contribute, but this year the Lazio Region has not yet given any signs of life, while the Municipality of Rome has decided to allocate 250 thousand euros, as for other cultural initiatives of particular value. This means that to keep the summer arenas alive, the Piccolo America Foundation risks having to go into debt and bear a large part of the expenses. But on the resolution of the Board Gualtieri open up heaven. The right, both with the League and with the Brothers of Italy, arose both on the merits and on the method, considered too fast and oblivious to the heated tones with which Carocci and his associates allegedly supported their cause in the Campidoglio. But the most ineffable criticism is that of the worst former mayor of Rome, Virginia Rages, who also in recent years had attended the Cinema in Piazza in San Cosimato. "I wondered - asked Raggi - what was the urgency (of the allocation of the Municipality), we know that summer is coming". In fact, her Giunta always arrived late for appointments with Rome, starting with the waste crisis. However, Grillo's antipathy towards an event of undoubted cultural value and evident social aggregation is not a bolt from the blue: years ago a city councilor of the Cinque Stelle promoted a petition against the Cinema in Piazza in Trastevere because she believed that it disturbed the peace of the neighborhood that usually crowds the arena. She collected 28 signatures. A crazy boomerang that didn't stop Raggi and the right from replying, albeit in other forms. Down from the tower.
