Just A Small One: Teatrino


Included in the "Guinness Book of World Records" 1997 as the smallest historic theatre audience in the world of the theatre Vetriano measures only 71 square meters, but is full of all that is required to put on a theatrical production. Built in 1890, it features a trapeze and two tiers of balconies. In the 1980s fears over the structural integrity of the building forced it to close. Thanks to the FAI delegation of Lucca, the property was acquired by the Foundation and is committed to restoring the theatre and make it fit for use again.  It currently hosts events in collaboration with the Academy of TEATRO ALLA SCALA.
