The Cinema “Kino-Dessé” in Via dell’Angiolo was an avant-garde movie theater which has been open for the last ten years, with an affectionate but lately dwindling public. I said “was” because the theater closed for good last Sunday, not a very good news for the new year.
In the last months the owners asked for some solidarity, but they got thousands of “likes” on Facebook without selling one ticket more. The last show was sold out.

3 euros per show? If I read that correctly, that sounds like a real deal.
ReplyDeleteAlways sad to see places like this go out of business.
ReplyDeleteSad that the theater has gone out of business. It is a lovely building. Thank you for the post.
ReplyDeleteNice looking building.
ReplyDeleteAnd another one hits the dust.
ReplyDeleteThat is too bad. Maybe something new and better will open in 2014? We can always hope! :)
ReplyDeleteSad, but the old cinemas were closed here too, too much TV, internet etc...
ReplyDeleteI wich you and yours a very happy New Year, VP!
"Likes" on facebook can be very deceptive, can't they?
ReplyDeleteKind of ironic. Sold out show celebrates the theater's closing for pact of attendance?
ReplyDeleteI hope someone will reuse it wisely. The building is beautiful! Happy New Year, VP!
