Parco della Musica, Concert hall and theatre complex in Parioli, Italy
The Auditorium Parco della Musica features three primary concert halls with distinct capacities: Santa Cecilia at 2,742 seats, Sinopoli at 1,133, and Petrassi at 673 seats.
The construction site revealed an ancient Roman villa in the 1990s, leading to archaeological excavations and the creation of a dedicated museum beneath the central courtyard.
The Santa Cecilia Hall specializes in symphonic performances, while Sinopoli accommodates chamber music and dance, and Petrassi hosts theatrical productions and film screenings.
The venue includes a 30,000-square-meter park, multiple rehearsal studios, a press room for 40 journalists, and extensive parking facilities near public transportation.
The three main halls resemble large musical instruments with lead-covered roofs, forming a circular arrangement around an outdoor amphitheater that seats 3,000 spectators.

Renzo Piano, born in Genoa in 1937, has developed an architectural language over five decades that combines technical precision with human scale. His buildings are characterized by transparent facades, visible structural elements, and the integration of natural light. The Centre Pompidou in Paris, completed in 1977 with Richard Rogers, displays building services on the exterior. The Whitney Museum in New York uses industrial materials within a residential neighborhood. The Shard in London reaches 309 meters with a glass facade that reflects daylight. His cultural buildings connect function with urban context. The Fondation Beyeler in Riehen near Basel sits within a park with glass walls between interior and exterior spaces. The Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome comprises three concert halls with different acoustics. Kansai Airport in Osaka stands on an artificial island with a 1.7-kilometer terminal. Piano received the Pritzker Prize in 1998 for his work.
