Cinema Eden

Cinema Eden is a historic cinema located in the historic centre of Prato, Italy, at Via B. Cairoli 24. It operates as a multi-screen venue with at least three screening rooms (Sala 1, Sala 2, Sala 3) and offers daily film programming. The cinema is a private commercial enterprise, with ticket prices of €8.00 full and €6.00 reduced (for over-65s at afternoon shows Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and holidays). It is closed on Mondays. Additional services include air conditioning, disabled access, and a bar. The cinema's website and communications are managed by Luigi Sorreca, and the business is registered with VAT number 01731330971. While the venue shares a name with a historic cinema building in Pistoia (formerly Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, inaugurated in 1912), the Prato cinema is a distinct operating business. Cinema Eden Prato continues to serve as a local cultural and entertainment hub, screening both mainstream and art-house films.

The Cinema Eden in Prato is a historic cinema operating in the city's historic centre. While the exact founding date of the Prato cinema is not documented in the available evidence, it shares a name with a notable cinema building in Pistoia, the Cinema Eden (formerly Galleria Vittorio Emanuele), which was inaugurated on 29 December 1912. That Pistoia building was commissioned by merchant Antonio Lavarini, originally from Ornavasso, and featured ceiling paintings by Ugo Casanova, wall decorations by Flori, woodwork by the Paglianti firm, and wrought iron and cast iron elements by the Michelucci firm. It served as both an exhibition gallery and a theatre for variety shows and cinema. The projection booth was later moved from the first floor to the ground floor, leading to the closure of the street entrance, which was relocated to an adjacent building. The Pistoia venue ceased operations in 1988 and, after a period of abandonment and degradation, underwent a full restoration by architects Antonio Principato, Maria Cristiana Gismondi, Andrea Nannini, and Paolo Rafanelli, completed in 2000. The Prato Cinema Eden, however, is a separate, currently active cinema at Via B. Cairoli 24, offering multiple screens and modern services. It continues to operate as a commercial cinema, with programming listed on its official website.
