Teatro Garibaldi

Discover a historic theatre in the heart of the Kalsa.

At the heart of Piazza Magione, after decades of silence, Teatro Garibaldi is breathing again.

Not simply as a performance venue, but as a civic organism: open, inclusive and international.

Inaugurated in 1862 in the presence of Giuseppe Garibaldi, this theatre has been many things: a stage for popular dreams, a cinema, a meeting place for the neighbourhood and, unfortunately, for many years, a forgotten ruin.

Today, thanks to Fondazione Studio Rizoma, it is reopening as a contemporary theatre for artistic creation, experimentation, civic engagement and cultural exchange between Europe and the Mediterranean.
