Guests
Cittadella is a unique walled city located in the heart of the Veneto region, in the province of Padua. Founded in 1220, it is famous for its perfectly preserved medieval walls, which can be explored entirely on foot thanks to a panoramic walkway that encompasses the entire historic center.
A place of great architectural and cultural charm, Cittadella is the perfect blend of history, art, and urban beauty. Its historic buildings, squares, towers, and bastions become the ideal backdrop for international cultural events.
During the CIFF, the city is transformed into a true "cinema citadel," where the past and contemporary creativity meet to create a unique, intimate, and evocative experience.
