Places & Hospitality

Piazza del Popolo

Located in between the cardo and decumano of the ancient roman city, Piazza del Popolo is the main square in Pesaro and owes its present structure to various renovation works throughout the centuries. The City Hall building – right next to Teatro Sperimentale – the Prefecture and the Central Post Office overlook the square.

Since 2000, during the Pesaro Film Festival the square becomes a huge open-air cinema for evening projections, hosting up to 800 sits.

Teatro Cinema
Sperimentale

Built in the same year as the first edition of the Festival and refurbished in 1994, the Teatro Cinema Sperimentale is located in the rear part of the City Hall building. At its entrance visitors can read a quote from the native poet Odoardo Giansanti to whom the theatre is dedicated. Since its foundation, it has become one of the most active places in the city’s cultural life: it is the historical headquarter of the Festival and every year it hosts numerous events such as dance recitals, theatre plays, conferences and concerts.

Inside the building, two theatre-rooms have been built: the Sala Grande (495 sits:355 in the parterre and 140 in the balcony), and a smaller theatre that in 2015, during the 50+1 festival edition was named after Pier Paolo Pasolini. With its 75 sits, it is dedicated to shorter projections and smaller events.

Cinema on the Beach

The Cinema on the beach is one of most recent innovations of the Festival. Since 2018, the organisers of the Festival decided to project some movies in the most suggestive location in Pesaro: right next to the sea, on the beach. The audience really appreciates this new location which with its 100 sits offers a unique experience that puts together the magic of the seaside and that of the cinema.

Palazzo Gradari

Palazzo Gradari and its courtyard represent one of the most lively and animated locations of the Festival.

The building is the headquarter of the Rossini Opera Festival administration and will soon host the University of Urbino. However, during the Festival week, some of its rooms and the courtyard become the home of respectively the organisers’ offices and the night events. In some parts of the building, there are the press and the hospitality offices and the management offices while in the courtyard students and journalists interview directors, meet some guests or produce their works about the Festival. In addition, after midnight and when all the shows are over, the special event Il Muro del Suono takes place in the courtyard. Here, cinema and music blend and give life to special nights of live music and other kinds of experimental performances creating the perfect atmosphere to end a busy day of movies and workshops.

spazio bianco

A project that has grown up within the International Exhibition of New Cinema, which for the 56th edition finds its fulfillment in a video-photographic installation, in the new city space dedicated to photography, thanks to the Pescheria Foundation - Visual Arts Center: white space is, for the Exhibition as for the city of Pesaro, a new point of reference not only for exhibitions and installations, but above all for meetings and workshops.

Pescheria

Visual Arts Centre Pescheria

Built by the Municipality of Pesaro at the beginning of the nineteenth century to sell fish, a product that was increasingly important for the city's economy, the Pescheria has now ceased to have its original function. Converted into an exhibition space with strong links to the territory, since 1996 it has been home to the Visual Arts Centre. Since then it has become the most important centre for contemporary art in the Adriatic region and has hosted exhibitions by protagonists of the national and international scene, as well as music, design, theatre and dance events.

Since 2015 it has also been one of the venues of the Mostra del Cinema, dedicated to meetings with authors and the press, and since 2019 it has been home to the archives of the Fondazione Pesaro Nuovo Cinema. In 2021 it hosted the first edition of the Pesaro Film Festival Circus, the new section of the Festival dedicated to children.
