\nCinema La Compagnia, Florence[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”636231″]On December 11<\/strong>,\u00a0La Compagnia\u00a0officially closes the 2024 festival season with an evening dedicated to Irish cinema. The program, part of the 50 Giorni di cinema<\/strong><\/a>, includes two films from N.I.C.E. with IRISH FILM FESTA<\/strong><\/a>, the result of the collaboration with the Roman festival that since 2007 has brought the best of Irish cinema to Italy.<\/p>\n

How to reach the Cinema<\/strong><\/em>
\nCinema La Compagnia is located in the historic center of Florence. We encourage our audience to reach it by public transportation: the nearest bus stops are at Via De\u2019 Pucci (lines 14, 23 and C1) and at Via Cavour (C1). Or in Piazza San Marco (4 min walk) stops most of the ATAF lines to and from the historic center and the T2 line of the tram. Those arriving in Florence by train can easily walk to the cinema in less than 15 minutes. You can check routes and schedules on the website: at-bus.it<\/strong><\/a> or on the official \u201cat bus\u201d app available on Google Play and Apple Store.
\nWe look forward to seeing you there!<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_accordion gutter_simple=”0″ active_tab=”none” uncode_shortcode_id=”152200″ el_class=”accordion-light”][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ tab_id=”1669217121-1-66167905168566017111004508881719488494406″ title=”Viviana del Bianco \u2014 Artistic Director of N.I.C.E.

For the past four years, N.I.C.E. has been bringing new Italian cinema to Ireland. The enthusiasm shown by local audiences has inspired us to reciprocate the favor.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this valuable collaboration, film enthusiasts will have the opportunity to discover and appreciate a selection of high-quality Irish films, thus enriching the cultural offering of our city.<\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing you for an evening of excellent Irish cinema!<\/p>\n
