Politeama Rossetti

Together with the Verdi, Il Rossetti is one of the two theaters that have remained from the five that, at the beginning of the century, livened up Trieste's daily and cultural life. Home of the local theater company for the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region, Il Rossetti is the most beautiful and imposing building in the locality. Built-in 1878 and named after the humanist, Domenico Rossetti, the theater remains an important point of reference for locals of all ages. In the city that boasts of the greatest number of theater lovers in Italy, buying season tickets for the Rossetti's shows is a habit that can not be broken. The theater has radically renewed its program in recent years, alternating traditional shows with more innovative works, even holding the occasional easy listening concert. Located within this magnificent edifice are two smaller theaters- Sala Bartoli and Politeama Rossetti that host exclusive plays meant for a smaller audience.
