FOOTAGE FROM THE PRESENTATION OF CINEMA TROISISOUNDBITES FROM VALERIO CAROCCI, LEADER OF THE PICCOLO AMERICA COLLECTIVE. TRANSLATION: 1. "The Troisi cinema that opens today. It is for us a holiday, our birthday, the fulfillment of a dream, the dream of restoring to the city this theater abandoned for 8 years. And above all we have created the first Italian classroom / study room, completely free and accessible 24H 365 days a year ". 2. "It is important to think of the Troisi not as a theater but as the Troisi Cinema, because it will not only be a theater but it will have a study classroom. We have rethought the cinema within the city at an urban level, giving it complementary functions to the projection of films ". 3. "Opening a cinema today is an act of madness, it is an act not only of courage, but also a little out of all logic, but we have done it and with the support of our families, who have put their own houses under guarantee ".
