Join us for Cinema in Piazza 2025!

Magazzino will open its central outdoor gathering space to the stars—and to the visions of Italian filmmakers—for its annual Cinema in Piazza series, starting
on July 19. This year’s program will present four films across two weekends in July and August.

Though diverse in genre and style, this year’s film selections resonate with several themes explored in Magazzino’s current exhibitions and events, including transatlantic dialogues in art, the memory of persecution, the cultural discourse surrounding the space race, and the evolving role of women in Italian society.

All screenings will take place in the courtyard of Magazzino’s Main Building. Doors will open at 5pm, and movie screenings will begin at dusk. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase.

Tickets are $20 for general admission, and free for members.

During the Cold War, a team of American art insiders create a plan to secure Robert Rauschenberg the top prize at the 1964 Venice Biennale. Blending art, politics, and intrigue, the documentary reveals how modern art became a weapon in the battle for cultural supremacy.
