Narni - Teatro Comunale

On our way to a restaurant, we learned from a local gentleman, that this was the very last night of the "Black Festival". He told us, that at 9pm the concert would start in the "Teatro comunale Giuseppe Manini", just in the center of the medieval city.

We found the building - and entered a 19th century treasure box.

The theatre, created an older building, was inaugurated 3. May 1856. It survived (economically) for a century, but had to be closed in the 1960s. Damaged by an earthquake in the 1970s it got reconstructed and restured to the old splendor.

The ceiling painting - and the large chandelier.
