    They leave those chairs out all winter, during storms and snow and ice? It would be too hot to sit outside and watch a movie here during the summer. Too hot for me, anyway.

    I sure feel sorry for poor Giuseppe...but then I've heard he's a stiff-necked fellow!

    Thanks, Trillian, for your so kind comments! Nice to hear from you!

    Looks like a fab setting for an open-air cinema, although the screen is quite small. Have you ever watched any movies there?

    You can't blame him, no one wants to miss a good movie! I wish we had more outdoor theaters here :D

    Lovely place for a movie viewing. But I don't think I like the idea of the seats being there all the time. Can't even take a photo of the beautiful building without the projector shack marring the view.

    I hope Modigliani doesn't strain his neck too much.

    What a charming setting for an outdoor movie theatre! Is it well attended? Do they play special kinds of movies? It looks to me like a place where people would open up and talk to strangers, not like in a modern movie house, where no one says a peep to anyone except with whom they came.

    That's pretty cool, I hope they show some good films. Do you ever go? It must be nice to watch a movie with Modigliani's brother.

    Giuseppe and everyone else are lucky to have a "cinema" like this.
