The Malta Tourism Authority's Milan office held two special screenings of the epic box-office hit film Troy, which stars Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom as the legendary warriors Achilles, Hector and Paris.

The MTA rented out two Warner Brothers cinemas - one in Rome (which seats 200 persons) and another in Milan (which caters for 300 viewers) - for the screening which was held exclusively for Italian travel agents.

Since a large portion of the film was filmed in Malta, the special screenings were intended to promote Malta as a destination and to portray the islands as the "Hollywood of the Mediterranean".
