Just a Small One: The Salvini Theatre


Much in the vein of Teatro Della Concordia my next JASO post is also a small Italian Theatre. This one though is settled in the Province of Imperia. This once rotting and neglected theatre is once again beautiful and entertaining both tourists and the locals. Originally built as a communal oven in 1834 a passionate man named Giuseppe worked tirelessly to get all the plans and licenses he needed to turn it into a theatrical space. It was remodeled on, yet again, the classic Italian Opera Houses and boasts a 43 sq meter stage, stalls and boxes. The theatre can sit approximately 90 people. These tiny Italian theatres are truly beautiful.
