This cinema in the Esquiline district of the city has been called one of the most significant movie theatres of the 20th Century in Rome. It was opened in 1917 (a stone plaque on the side of the building gives a date MCMXVII. The cinema has had a mixed history, including a period at the end of its life as a red-light cinema, the Pussycat Cinema. Now closed, it has been the subject of many attempts to re-open it.
