Welcome to Cinema Troisi: Where the Court Meets the Screen!
Every day the most read news of the day – and why would we want anything less?
Right from tomorrow night, NBA fans can bask in the glory of live basketball… in a cinema! Yes, you heard that right. In the beating heart of Trastevere, the **Cinema Troisi** is about to drop some slam dunks with its unique 300-seat setup. Historic? Check! State-of-the-art projection technologies? You better believe it! With 4K projectors, the latest-gen screens, and a Dolby 7.1 surround sound system – you’ll feel like you’re sitting courtside, just without the chance of getting hit by a stray basketball. But hey, at least there are no popcorn spills in the front row! Who needs courtside seats when you can enjoy a slice of pizza and perhaps a glass of Chianti on the side, am I right?
What’s on the court tonight?
Tonight’s entertainment features the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. the Los Angeles Clippers, live at 3:30 AM! Make sure you rock up wearing your favorite team’s jersey, because nothing says ‘prepared’ quite like showing off the back of your oversized shirt at ridiculous hours. And if that’s not enough, Monday promises even more thrills as the New York Knicks face off against the Houston Rockets at 2:45 AM. Perhaps this should just be called “Nocturnal NBA Battles”.
Free Entry? Count Me In!
Let’s talk about what really gets our blood pumping here – free admission! That’s right; Cinema Troisi opens its doors wide and invites everyone to come and watch NBA games without a single euro spent! The management mentions it’s to foster a diverse and “heterogeneous” audience. “Heterogeneous” sounds like a fancy word, right? I think that means we’ll have a mix of die-hard basketball fans, confused tourists who just stumbled in thinking it was a romantic comedy screening, and the occasional lost soul looking for some Wi-Fi! Be sure to arrive early, because it’s first come, first served—just like that time you tried to catch the last slice of pizza at a party.
More Than Just a Movie Theatre
The Cinema Troisi dreams of being much more than just a place showing films or hosting sports. It aims to be an “inclusive” space for culture. Now, you might be thinking, “Inclusive? Does that mean they’ll accept my questionable taste in movies?” The answer is a resounding yes—just don’t expect them to put on any of your ex’s favorite rom-coms! The cinema is also a study room-library and a multifunctional space for events, so you can both study for that oral exam while simultaneously planning your strategy for this year’s Fantasy Basketball League.
It’s essentially a community hub; a place to “study, plan and discuss.” With the NBA being added to the agenda, it’s a brilliant way to get young folks into both cinema and basketball. So you can simultaneously enjoy your guilty pleasure of seeing LeBron James dunk while pretending to look studious—truly the best of both worlds!
In conclusion, if you’re in Rome and want to catch a game while abiding by your budget, let me tell you: this just might be your new favorite haunt. Who knew the Renaissance could also give us having a six-pack of beers while cheering for your team from a cinema seat?
*Note: Access until exhaustion and without reservation means you better pack your bags and bring your game face. It’s NBA season, folks; may the best fan win!

A groundbreaking initiative is set to unfold at the historic Cinema Troisi in the vibrant neighborhood of Trastevere, Rome, as it introduces live NBA games to the big screen. From tonight onward, this iconic 300-seat cinema, known for its classic charm and modern luxuries, will invite basketball fans to experience thrilling matchups like never before. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a 4K projector, an advanced screen, and a Dolby 7.1 surround sound system, patrons can immerse themselves in the action as they enjoy live broadcasts. The inaugural event features the thrilling clash between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Clippers, airing tonight at 3:30 AM. Following that, on Monday, fans can cheer for the New York Knicks as they go head-to-head with the Houston Rockets at an early morning start of 2:45 AM.
Cinema Troisi will broadcast NBA games for free
“The Cinema Troisi is open 24 hours a day and there are always people. We want to offer free and accessible spaces. The NBA for free, at night, does not affect the cinema programming – the management states. It’s a single room, and we will dedicate it to the games every night, aside from special programming events that may occur. The overwhelming interest we have received from the online community has exceeded our expectations. With 300 seats available, access will be on a first-come, first-served basis and without the need for reservations.” The management anticipates that attendance will inform future decisions on expanding availability for these screenings, reflecting their commitment to serving a diverse audience.
The Piccolo America Foundation, which played a pivotal role in rescuing the America cinema from demolition in 2012 and now oversees Cinema Troisi, envisions this space as a “new and inclusive hub.” Not just a venue for cinematic experiences, the cinema aims to foster cultural engagement and knowledge exchange. By providing an atmosphere conducive to both leisure and learning, young people will not only enjoy watching basketball but can also make use of the complimentary study room-library and bright terrace, serving as platforms for discussion and creative planning. The inclusion of live NBA broadcasts represents a strategic move to enrich offerings and attract audiences around the clock.
