This former cinema in the Prati neighborhood of the city has not been around for decades. Busy before and after the 1950’s, the location has now become a branch of the UniCredit Bank.

On the site “Cinema Romani, Anni ‘50” a resident who lived on nearby Via Germanico reflected on going to the movies at the Ottaviano in the 1950’s: “The multicolored posters were the first thing I would look at when I left the house. How many war films I saw here, a very popular genre back then. Then I would talk about them with classmates, savoring in advance the upcoming showings. I saw many war films here: ‘Corea in fiamme’ (The Steel Helmet) in 1952, ‘To Hell and Back’ in 1956…” He goes on to say that in those films the victors were portrayed as being very proud, and the defeated were themselves made to act triumphant.
