TERAMO. The hypothesis of setting up a temporary theater at the Science Park as an alternative to the Municipal Park where the redevelopment works with Pnrr funds are starting is taking shape. Yesterday the councilor Antonio Filipponi met with the city’s cultural operators, including the representatives of the Riccitelli and Acs companies, to illustrate in broad terms the project idea that the city administration intends to implement and to understand whether it can be adapted to the needs of those who organize and set up shows. On the part of the cultural operators there would have been, albeit with some hesitation, a substantial openness to the idea of transforming the Science Park into an advanced auditorium following what is a first draft drawn up by the engineer Franco Malgrandedirector of the staging of the Scala in Milan involved by the Municipality of Teramo.
The room, which today hosts the sessions of the city council, with targeted interventions that can be carried out in a few months could become an auditorium capable of hosting musical and theatrical performances with a capacity of 500 spectators. The position of openness and favor of the city’s cultural operators will now push the administration towards a further step: next week, in fact, the administrators will meet Malgrande to proceed with the assignment of a more precise and punctual project also in terms of costs and to start thus a more concrete phase. According to an initial estimate, the intervention should not exceed 400 thousand euros in expenditure. The setup, if successful, will remain definitive and the auditorium “will perform its function on a permanent basis for events and initiatives that require spaces of that kind”, explains Filipponi. Where the Municipality puts this project on the ground, the Riccitelli season could start in January 2025. (vm)
