Party pics: Inside all the action from last week’s Cinema Peroni

The perfect way to end a busy week, this year’s Cinema Peroni took place on a Friday and saw us congregate in Britomart’s Takutai Square for an al fresco experience like no other. With crisp bottles of Peroni Nastro Azzurro — in the brand’s sleek, new design — tasty Peroni Limone cocktails and a delicious, three-course meal from Amano, all we had to do was sink comfortably into the striped deck chairs, cover ourselves with blankets and settle in for a screening of the compelling, Perfetti Sconosciuti (Perfect Strangers), as chosen by the Rialto Film Channel.
