Teatro Biblioteca Quarticciolo, Theater and public library in Quarticciolo, Rome, Italy.
Teatro Biblioteca Quarticciolo is a modern building in eastern Rome that houses a 158-seat theater and public library under one roof. The two sections work together as an integrated cultural space, with performances and book collections sharing the same venue.
The center opened on December 12, 2007, as part of an initiative to strengthen cultural facilities beyond Rome's historic core. This founding reflected growing attention to arts offerings in the city's outlying neighborhoods.
This space grew out of the neighborhood's need for more artistic venues in eastern Rome. The way locals use both the stage and library together shows how they value performance and reading equally.
The facility is located at Via Ostuni 8 and operates with different schedules for library services and theater events. It is helpful to check the program in advance since theater performances and reading activities run on separate schedules.
The venue runs a reading circle program where theater professionals and librarians together lead workshops mixing literature and performance throughout the year. This blend is unusual and shows how the two artistic fields are woven together in this space.
