Palazzo San Lorenzo, in the San Lorenzo neighborhood, describes itself on its website as «one space, many vocations»: cinema, theater and concerts, a study room, a pub bar with a hi-fi sound system, as well as talks and training courses. The website gives its opening hours as every day, from 10:00 to 2:00 at night.

The program also includes original-language screenings and talks about films. In the site's guide the Palazzo has its own page, Palazzo San Lorenzo, and it also hosts the exhibition Il Falsario, with screening and talk. For the neighborhood there's the page San Lorenzo, what to see.

Adnkronos reports that the film is finished and is being taken to theaters in some Italian cities, with Giardina attending the screenings scheduled between November and December 2026.
