Teatro Quirino

[3] From July 2014, management passed to a private company made up of sector operators whose CEO is Rosario Coppolino; Artistic consultants are Geppy Gleijeses and Guglielmo Ferro.

The theater was built in 1871 at the behest of Prince Maffeo Barberini Colonna di Sciarra, who decided to entrust the project to the architect Giulio De Angelis, assisted by his colleague Francesco Marra (or Morra).

The place chosen was inside the Sciarra Colonna palace, owned by the prince, with the main entrance from Via del Corso and extended up to the Trevi fountain.

Piacentini, however, also substantially modified the interiors but only with a second intervention, in 1954, where he left the external airspace of the building unchanged, but also obtained space for the offices of the Italian Theater Organization, which had taken direct management of it since 1946.

Among the most famous conductors of the 19th century who conducted at the Quirino Theater, there is M ° Antonino Palminteri, present on the podium in June 1899, staging works such as: I Lombardi by Giuseppe Verdi, Manon Lescaut, by Giacomo Puccini.
