her return to Italy a few weeks ago, I see that things always go better ... that is worse.
Only yesterday, reading the French newspaper Le Monde online, I found the news of the forthcoming closure of the cinema Metropolitan (via del Corso, vicino a Piazza del Popolo), uno dei pochi cinema romani ad avere una programmazione di qualità e a proiettare i film nella loro versione originale con sottotitoli in italiano.
Il Metropolitan , che nel 1911 compierà 100 anni, come spiego nel sito sempre in penombra , sito in un palazzo storico del centro di Roma, è stato venduto dalla Fininvest Sviluppi Immobiliari S.p.A., pare per 24 milioni di euro. Il probabile acquirente è il gruppo Benetton, che, approfittando della delibera comunale che consente la ristrutturazione dei cinema, potrebbe mantenere la attività culturale al 50% della cubatura. Intorno alla chiusura del Metropolitan group was born against the closure of the Metropolitan on Facebook that I invite you to visit and sign the petition.
Continuing with the history of the hall in time, this time we got to 1948, when the cinema at the Metropolitan name:
Rome, March 1948.
