Teatro dell'Archivolto, Theatre company in Genoa, Italy.
Teatro dell'Archivolto is a theatre company that presents performances at Teatro Gustavo Modena, a neoclassical building featuring traditional Italian-style boxes and galleries in the Sampierdarena district. The company also operates from a second performance space housed in a converted former municipal market.
The company was founded in 1986 under the direction of Pina Rando and Giorgio Gallione, establishing its permanent home at Teatro Gustavo Modena in 1997. In 2001, the ensemble expanded with a second venue in a former market building.
The company stages adaptations of literary works, blending classical theatrical pieces with contemporary productions for audiences of all ages. This approach reflects a commitment to narrative storytelling that brings both established and emerging voices to the stage.
The company is based in Genoa and maintains regular performance schedules with ticket reservations available through its office. Visitors should check ahead before attending, as operating hours and programming can vary by season.
Since 2001, the company operates an additional performance space in a former market building, now called Sala Mercato, transforming historical space into a contemporary theatre venue. This dual presence allows the ensemble greater flexibility in programming and broader reach across the city.
