Teatro Fossati, Historic theatre in central Milan, Italy
The Teatro Fossati features two facades with terracotta decorations, including a statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi on Via Rivoli and Corso Garibaldi.
Entrepreneur Carlo Fossati commissioned architect Fermo Zuccari to design the theatre, which opened its doors on January 1, 1859.
In 1986, the theatre became Piccolo Teatro Studio after extensive renovations financed by Giorgio Strehler, transforming it into a space for experimental performances.
The theatre maintains an open interior layout with minimal seating arrangements, allowing for flexible configurations during different types of performances.
In 1881, Teatro Fossati made history as the first theatre in Italy to implement electric lighting systems for its performances.
