AB  - The authors deal with open-air film screenings in Italy in the first half of the 20th century. The paper is part of the project "Film Technique. Technique in Film" and was published in one of ten publications on the customs and environments associated with film screenings. The authors draw on an analysis of the exhibition and promotional strategies, locations of occurrence, and the particular form of parks, courtyards, cafés, gardens, and arenas that hosted film screenings. The authors conclude that it is the places least similar in structure to the traditional cinema that offer the strongest examples of established behaviours associated with attending a film performance.
