Like poetry, literature, painting and sculpture, Cinema is art and culture. Films from the history of cinematography and great directors who chose Salina as anunique and unrepeatable natural set. Today Salina does not have a cinema and the Cine-Auditorium Project wants to give it back to the island, tourists and to the whole community of film lovers. The new Cine-Auditorium is an ambitious but concrete project. A room with about 200 seats, which will rise in the outdoor area of ​​Palazzo Marchetti. A state-of-the-art building where digital technology will enchant the timeless magic of cinematic stories. In order to carry out the cinema- auditorium project and cover the costs of construction ( estimated at 500,000.00 Euro ) it has created a crowd-funding platform based on donations, in order to give the opportunity to friends of Salina, to those passionate about the theatre and to those who become interested, to be able to make their contribution to the project.
Now we also need your generosity!

To enrich the cultural offering which Palazzo Marchetti is already committed to, The Associazione Didime ’90 has in mind an ambitious project that reinforces the existing historic vocation of the island towards the cinema: the construction of a new Cinema-Auditorium with a capacity of 200 seats, situated in the area outside the Palazzo. An innovative building, technically advanced, with available space not only for those who love the theatre, but also for courses designed in collaboration with Italian and international schools of music, cinema and direction, even in periods of the year outside the main tourist season.

Palazzo Marchetti is an historic residence that represents a happy and original synthesis between 19th century Aeolian style and modern comfort. The panoramic view of the vineyards and the cobalt blue sea of the Aeolian islands is embraced with the silence, broken only by the chimes of the bells and the sounds of nature. All around, the green of the vineyards and the Mediterranean vegetation, that climb towards the slopes of Monte Fossa. Palazzo Marchetti was home until 2010 to the Aeolian Museum of Emigration of Malfa. It hosts events, concerts, theatrical performances, “lectures” of literary texts , debates and book presentations and especially a great prestigious event like the Salina DocFest, reaching in 2016 its 10th edition.
