CineBike festival
16 June 2023
Position: Parco delle Rose
Cinebike is the festival that brings cycling and slow mobility closer to the cinema experience. As in the old drive-in tradition, but in its more ecological version, the bike-in - the Cinebike arena - can be reached by bike, on foot or on a scooter, and makes it possible to eat and drink during the screenings. The first edition of Cinebike takes place from 16 to 24 June 2023 in the seaside town of Grado.
This evocative and picturesque seaside town is the source of inspiration for a programme that will be partly dedicated to 'holiday' Italian cinema, the most popular one, a symbol not only of the summer season, but also of the memory, traditions and summer rituals that have marked entire generations. The other part of the programme is dedicated to the themes of sustainability and mobility. And it is precisely from the union of these two souls, entertainment and awareness-raising, that the festival comes to life.
The programme can be found HERE (in italian)
HOW TO PARTICIPATE?
Access to the films and side events is free of charge while places are available.
Some side events can be booked on the Eventbrite circuit at a cost of € 3.
Those who make reservations will have priority over those who do not. The description of each event specifies whether a reservation is available.

MOSTRE E CONVEGNI
Mostra storica "Maria Bergamas, per tutte le madri, per tutti i figli"
20 May 2023
Position: Casa della Musica, Piazza Biagio Marin, 2, Grado
Il Gruppo Archeologico Aquileiese, nell'anno 2021-2022, ha ritenuto proprio dovere realizzare un'esposizione dedicata alla figura di Maria Bergamas, prescelta per un compito che avrebbe intimorito uomini ben più abituati a stare al centro dell'attenzione di un vasto e autorevole pubblico e che Ella invece interpretò facendo emergere il dolore più autentico e ancestrale: sopravvivere a un figlio. Così Maria Bergamas ha travalicato le epoche ed è assurta a interprete delle sofferenze di tutte le madri che hanno perso un figlio.
ORARI di APERTURA:
- Da lunedì a venerdì: 19.00 - 22.00
- Sabato e domenica e il 2 giugno: 10.00 - 12.00 / 19.00 - 22.00
Nelle seguenti giornate, sarà possibile vistare la mostra con una guida gratuita: 27 maggio; 3,10, 17 e 24 giugno. Nelle altre giornate, le visite guidate vengono effettuate per gruppi di almeno 10 persone.
