Asti's Cinema Cinema Event Criticized Over Inaccessible Sala Pastrone Elevator

The Comune di Asti organizes the summer "Cinema Cinema" film series, with several screenings taking place in the Sala Pastrone of the Teatro Alfieri. The venue is praised for offering families and film enthusiasts a social gathering space.

However, the Sala Pastrone lacks a functioning elevator, making the hall inaccessible to people with mobility impairments. The issue has been reported repeatedly to municipal authorities but remains unresolved, effectively excluding disabled citizens from the program. Letters to the editor by Marco Castaldo highlight the problem and question the municipality's commitment to genuine inclusion.
