On May 18, 1940, according to a listing in Il Messaggero, the French film “Verso la vita” (Jean Renoir’s “Les Bas-Fonds” or “The Lower Depths,” with Jean Gabin) was playing here. Renoir’s pacifist film “Grand Illusion” was banned from Italian commercial showings, though it had appeared at the Venice Film Festival the year it came out. Also on the program were the customary LUCE documentaries and newsreels.

On August 27, 1970 I saw the popular hit “Metello” with Massimo Ranieri in this cinema when it was called the Galleria.
