This place dedicated to cinema is located within Villa Borghese and a short distance from Via Veneto.

You’ll feel like you’re on the couch in your living room.

Apollo 11
This cinema within walking distance of the Vittorio Emanuele metro stop features documentaries and international independent films. Apollo 11 is an intimate and welcoming facility, some call it much more than a movie theater: a place where debate is always alive and where there is a chance to chat with other people about issues of common interest. In short, cinema that unites and shortens distances. Events are organized periodically, such as one dedicated to poetry. You can keep up to date on the cinema’s Facebook page.
