Cinema Roma di Vicenza

Vicenza, Italy

This multiplex in Vincenza, Italy was reborn from the original single theater in response to the design challenge of recreating an area of the old town for changing entertainment requirements. The project consisted of the conversion and upgrade to current codes of the existing, circa 1930, theater with ±1,500 seats into a state of the art multiplex.

Valerio was able to successfully address this significant design challenge, given the combination of factors that the theater was part of a larger mixed use building with residential units above, and located in the historical center of the small renaissance town. The result is 5 state of the art movie theaters with a total of ±800 extremely roomy and comfortable seats, and a redesigned entrance lobby which incorporates and hides a series of large sliding fire doors while maintaining a contemporary and upscale feel.
