Arena dello Stretto, Modern theatre on Lungomare Falcomatà, Reggio Calabria, Italy
The Arena dello Stretto features a semicircular grandstand with two side ramps, offering views across the Strait of Messina from its waterfront location.
Built on the former Porto Salvo harbor site after the 1908 earthquake, the theatre marks where King Vittorio Emanuele III first visited after his proclamation.
The Arena hosts the Reggio Calabria Film Festival, POP Music Festival, and Mediterranean Treasures events, gathering performers from multiple countries throughout the year.
Two spacious access ramps connect the lower arena area to the upper sections, making the venue accessible for all visitors during performances.
The bronze statue of Athena Promachos, created by sculptor Bonfiglio, stands at the center of the theatre facing the city since its 2001 relocation.
