Teatro Sistina
Where
Via Sistina, 132, Roma
Opened in 1949 as a movie-theater and designed by Marcello Piacentini, it is characterized by a room without columns and other structures, which allows the display to the public from every seat. Shortly after the inauguration, in the Theater was filmed the final scene of the film "Totò cerca moglie"; a few days later, it followed the inauguration of the Theater program, again with Totò protagonist. Within a year, the Sistine could confirm its only theatrical vocation and become unique and modern, located in an area of the most beautiful of Rome. 1960 is the year of change: the Sistine management was entrusted to Garinei & Giovannini, which will initiate a brilliant and enlightened artistic and entrepreneurial run until 2006.
