2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Villa Borghese, Piazza del Popolo, and Flaminio, Rome

Casa del Cinema is Rome's hub for all things film, with multiple screening rooms, an exhibition space, and a room for filming interviews, plus a caffè and restaurant. Yearly programming includes new and retro films from its vast archives as well as many original-language films often showcased from several festivals, including Rome Film Fest. In summer, the cinema heads outdoors to show a wide array of movies.

This quaint theater in the middle of the park has only 63 seats and plays children's films during the day and adult new releases at night. It opened in 1934, and many Romans still refer to it as "Casa di Topolino," thanks to the giant Mickey Mouse sign that appeared on the building until the 1970s. Warning to the very tall: leg room is minimal.
