After two years of bouncing between closings and openings, the cinema does not give up on summer. And so numerous film reviews are born around Italy, to enjoy the films under the summer sky. There are those who have adapted a space for the occasion, like Prada Foundation for «Multiple Canvases», and who instead fills the squares with seats for the spectators, as happens every year in Piazza Maggiore in Bologna. Same thing i do museums and art exhibitions, coming out of their canonical indoor spaces. Vanity Fair has selected the best open-air cinemas and opportunities to appreciate contemporary art in the natural spaces of our country.
