It often happens that you cross via di Acqua Bullicante, a medium-sized road that connects Prenestina and Casilina, without even realizing the presence of the building of the former Cinema Impero. The cause of this indifference is not only due to the less than perceptive gaze of the passerby but first of all it can be traced back to the lack of activity of the structure and even more to its state of extreme degradation and abandonment which has characterized it for a long time.
If its appearance certainly does not attract the gaze of the less curious, its history however leaves fascinated even those who have accidentally raised their heads and laid their gaze on its not at all discreet sign.
The Palace is the historical testimony of one of the Italy's best known and most controversial periods. Built after the mid-1930s by the architect Mario Messina, the building is the clear testimony of an era, the fascist one, in which the Art Deco style, the matrix of Italian Rationalism, clearly leaves its mark on multiple buildings of the period which precedes the Second World War.
This is the phase of maximum Italian expansion, which sees the proclamation of King Vittorio Emanuele III of Savoy as Emperor. The historical-political contiguity of the Italian colonies of the 1930s with the Belpaese allowed the diffusion of an architectural style in the lands beyond the Mediterranean. Direct testimony comes to us from the city of Asmara, in which attempts were made to shape Eritrean spaces following the style that was widespread in the capital, giving life to what is commonly called 'Little Rome'.
This is the point of intersection between via by Acqua Bullicante n° 121 – Rome and the capital of Eritrea: the Cinema Impero.
The structure, which represents a format, was erected not only in the first suburbs of Rome, Torpignattara, but also in Asmara, recreating artistic links which free themselves from the vicissitudes and disappointments created by the course of history. Cinematographic activities took place in the Roman structure until the 1970s, a period in which the shutters were lowered. From that moment, the Cinema Impero became a meeting place for vagrants and the homeless who contributed to the progress of the degradation already brought about by time.
