Historic two-screen cinema in Via Torino, a few minutes' walk from the Duomo, billed by its own site as "il cinema più antico d'Italia" (in Milan since 1907; it celebrated its centenary in December 2007). It occupies the fifteenth-century Casa/Palazzo de' Grifi and opened as the Mondial (Cinematografo Mundial), already with two small rooms fed from a single shared projection booth, which is why it is often called Italy's first multiscreen cinema. It became the Centrale in 1942, after the older Cinema Centrale under the Piazza del Duomo arcades had closed in 1938. In the 1950s the room entered from Via Valpetrosa was closed and a second, independent room with its own booth was built beside the first. Independent and family-run: the Massirone family has owned it since 1962. Programmes art-house and independent titles, including original-version screenings and the Le vie del cinema Venice festival selection; received Europa Cinemas support in 2025. An undated directory listing (milanonotte.it) describes both rooms as having Prevost projectors, DLP digital projectors, Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital sound and air conditioning.
