Italy

There are 9 premium screens in Italy, across IMAX and Independent operator giant screens. The biggest picture is at UCI Cinemas Orio IMAX (Oriocenter) — 461 m² of lit screen, with almost nothing in it against UCI Cinemas Orio & IMAX.

One room — UCI Cinemas Orio & IMAX — can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Everywhere else in the country crops to 1.90, which is roughly a quarter less picture on a film shot for it.

Worth knowing before you book: Arcadia Melzo - Sala Energia never lights 24% of its screen. The fabric is bigger than the picture, which is why the ranking here is by lit area rather than by the dimensions cinemas advertise.

6 of 9 publish their dimensions; the rest are scored on an estimate and marked as such. No projector here is yet confirmed by two independent sources, so treat the scores as indicative.
