The Cinema Impero (English: ''Cinema Empire'') is an Art Deco-style cinema in Asmara, the capital of Eritrea. It was built in 1937 by the colonial authorities in Italian Eritrea. ==History== ''Cinema Impero'' was the largest movie theater constructed in Asmara during the last period of the Italian colony of Eritrea. It was named after the conquest of Ethiopia by Benito Mussolini and his proclamation of the Italian Empire. The building still houses a cinema today, and it is considered by the experts one of the world's finest examples of Art Déco style building.〔Gianluca Rossi, ''Renzo Martinelli inviato de ''La Nazione'', 2009. ISBN 978-88-7255-356-5〕 ''Cinema Impero'' is still structurally sound after 70 years, escaping damage during the several conflicts that have affected the Horn of Africa over the past century. It is a tourist attraction in modern Asmara, along with the famous Fiat Tagliero Building and some other Italian-period structures of colonial Eritrea, including the Presidential Palace and the City Hall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cinema Impero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
