Teatro Bianconi

Theatre Bianconi was born many years ago on a whim of a great man and artist named Mario Liberati (alas forgotten by this country) so much so that, once the work is completed, the memo called "Capriccio." After the inauguration, which took place in the early 50s, they followed one another, on the stage of "Capriccio", the most famous companies of the era of vaudeville; Then, with the advent of the 60s, he began the inexorable decline: from theater to cinema, from cinema to place unused. At the end of the 60s the theater was purchased by the Parish who changed from "Capriccio" name "Theatre Bianconi"; but the expected change of course, the memory of past glories, there was not. The theater was opened only sporadic times; the now fate was sealed. "What you can do with a local so great? A nice supermarket? No! Idea ... let's have a gym !! "..and that's what, in the mid-70s, the" Capriccio "by Mario Liberati became ... And it is in that period, on a rainy October afternoon, I, along with a group of friends, candle armed, for the first time I put my nose inside the theater; oh my God "Theatre", everything seemed outside of a theater! If I close my eyes I can still hear the acrid smell of horsehair mattresses used by the judo school, she huddled in a corner, so it looks like a giant deck of cards that no longer uses; a battered staircase allowed access to the stage where, with amazement, I saw a mountain of chairs; strange is not it? ... Usually the seats are in the stalls and in the gallery and not on a stage ... What they had artistic ambitions so as to stage a last show before the final collapse? ... Or they were entrenched trying to resist heroically, making a shield with each other, from an inevitable defeat? I felt like shouting 'Yankies go home !!!!. " It was a rainy afternoon in October of 1978, I entered the theater with the intention of staying a few moments .... There are more out! And it has been for over 30 years, with a group of rowdy, I took the management of this theater to indulge my absurd vice called "Theatre." If it were possible, I would live in a studio apartment in the "Bianconi" because the theater is the factory of ideas and emotions. Now I think I'm beyond redemption, for me there is no San Patrignano! Nothing excites me like a curtain that opens and a show begins. I am convinced that the theater will never end because there will always be a man willing to tell a story to another man.
