Auditorium FLOG, Multi-purpose hall in Florence, Italy

Auditorium FLOG is a multi-purpose performance space in Florence with a central stage fitted with modern sound and lighting systems. The venue accommodates up to 1000 people and hosts a wide range of events from concerts to theater productions.

The FLOG foundation was created on 19 September 1945 by managers, workers and clerks of the Galileo workshops, and on four hectares of the Montughi hill it built a sports and leisure centre with a pool, tennis courts and a dance floor. The large auditorium itself was inaugurated in 1972, alongside a gym and spaces for the foundation's sports groups.

The auditorium serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience rock, jazz, and cinema in an unpretentious setting. The space hosts a steady rotation of live performances and film events that draw different communities throughout the year.

The venue is accessible by tram T1 to the Poggetto stop, with the entrance at Via Michele Mercati 24b in a residential area. Visitors should arrive early to find parking or use public transport, as the neighborhood can be busy during events.

The four hectares on the Montughi hill were bought in 1945 by the Fondazione Lavoratori Officine Galileo, founded that 19 September by managers, workers and clerks of the Galileo works; they are described as the only land on the hill never taken over by building speculation. The summer arena grew out of a dance floor built for the recreation centre.
