I had the pleasure of being granted access to the Cineteca which houses the largest collection of music-related memorabilia and materials in the world. Its typically open to the public but was closed when I was in Bologna so this was a special arrangement. The place is so worth to visit especially if you are a lover of cinema. Classic movies that have been restored by Ritrovata are available as well as publications dating back nearly a century to the start of cinema. Original posters, art sheets, storyboards, photo stills, hand-written notes are available to researchers. They even boast of a wide selection of movie related video games that can be played inside the Cineteca. This is perfect for cinema enthusiasts with its rich history and imagery all available at your finger tips.

Great for students, good films in original language. You know italians only watch in the own language so stick to Cineteca if you are a real cinema follower. Also they have annual film fest,val. And this summer they had cinema demonstrations in Piazza Maggiore 'il cinema Sotto dell stelle'
