Between June and September annually Isola Tiberina helds a cinema festival, that gathers many visitors and Romans together. Films shown in recent years have included Hitchcock and Kubrick retrospectives and films by Robert Altman and Wong Kar Wai, along with many other Italian and foreign films.
Not only films can be seen, there are plenty bars and cafés lining by the river, wide variety of stalls selling everything from environmentally friendly knickknacks to DVDs.It’s a splendid place to chill in with couple of friends, having drink, enjoying cinema classics and browsing the stalls. Whatever you are doing in Rome, you have to experience Rome by night, getting know its characteristic streets in a city which is not rich only for the history but very full of life.
