Beneficiaries of the contribution intended for theaters will be managers of Lazio theater spaces that, among the requirements, have been established for at least two years and have hosted a minimum number of programming days in 2019 (60 for theaters in the territory of Roma Capitale and 40 in the remaining municipalities of Lazio), from theater to music to dance.

The grant intended for cinemas is intended for cinema exhibitors. Among the requirements are the presence on the regional territory of both the registered or operational office and the movie theater, being regularly registered in the business register as well as having accrued in 2019 a certain number of days of public entertainment: 240 for cinemas located on the territory of Roma Capitale, 180 in the other provincial capitals and 100 in the other municipalities of Lazio.Without prejudice to the maximum contribution of 60,000 euros in total for each theater, a portion of it will be determined by the number of days the cinema is open from August 24 to October 25, 2020: 4,000 euros from 0 to 10 days of opening; 6,500 euros from 11 to 25 days; 7,500 euros from 26 to 40 days; and 10,500 euros from 41 days of opening onward.
