“Girando a Cinecittà” (Strolling around Cinecittà) is the title of the permanent exhibition which from 24th January 2015 joins “Perchè Cinecittà” (Why Cinecittà) and “Backstage - Un Percorso Didattico Per Cinecittà” (Backstage – an educational path through Cinecittà) opened over the past years in order to allow visitors and tourists who reach the Eternal City to plunge into the enchanted atmosphere of the so-called “Hollywood on the Tiber”.

From the great films of its beginnings to the war period; from its re-birth during neo-realism and the golden age during the 60’s to foreign productions and the rise of the star system, “Girando a Cinecità” displays photographs, scene costumes, stage designs, cult film items from the Roman studios of Via Tuscolana from 1937 such as “Quo Vadis?”, “Senso”, “A fistful of dollars”, “Once upon a time in America” or “The last Emperor”.
