Teatro Nicola Vaccaj

The Teatro Vaccaj or Vaccai is a historic opera house in Tolentino, Italy.

In the late 18th century, in part under the patronage of Cardinal Carandini, this public theater was built.

It was initially called the Teatro dell’Aquila, in part due to the eagle on the Cardinal's coat of arms.

In 1881, the theater was restored by Luigi Fontana, and rededicated to the native musician Nicola Vaccaj.

The former sipario or theater curtain depicted illustrious persons from Tolentino, including Francesco Filelfo and Niccolò Mauruzi, burned during a fire in 2008.
