- Abandoned Theater -
- IT - 2018 - 🇮🇹 -
It was on our second attempt that we finally managed to get into this incredible theater. It remains one of the most beautiful abandoned places I've ever seen, both for its beauty and for the difficulty we had getting inside.
Nestled in a typical small town in northern Italy, this theater, built in the Art Nouveau style, dates back to the 19th century, specifically 1847, by the architect Giovanni Battista Gorresio.
In the 1930s, the theater could accommodate 350 spectators. It was then considered the largest and most prestigious theater in all of Piedmont (excluding provincial capitals).
The first renovation took place in 1887, followed by a second in 1933, during which the interior and decor were also modified.
The first signs of abandonment date back to 1957. Then, in 1978, following heavy snowfall, the roof collapsed, leaving the building to deteriorate further without any intervention from the municipality, which owned it. In 1995, the municipality classified it as a "safe site," but none of the proposed projects could be implemented due to a lack of funding.
Twenty-five years later, images of the now-ruined theater brought the issue back into the spotlight. This time, restoration plans truly began:
- 2020: Work to secure the structure began and lasted four years.
- 2024: The theater was opened to the public for exploration of the ruins and became one of the central venues for the FAI's Autumn Days.
- 2025: The theater can be visited via the link below:
