Cinema Capranichetta

This former small cinema of distinction took its name from the larger Cinema Capranica around the block at Piazza Capranica. It was opened by 1947. Closed as a cinema in recent years, it has been used as an assembly venue for various groups. It is located across from the Palazzo Montecitorio, seat of the Italian Chamber of Deputies.
