A theatre born with the city
Built in 1861 thanks to the initiative of the Società Filodrammatica cebana and the support of citizens, the theatre was named after the local playwright Carlo Marenco, a leading figure of Italian romanticism.
Designed in the Italian style by engineer Giovanni Levi, is a small 19th-century jewel that preserves its beauty intact: horseshoe-shaped stalls, three tiers of wooden boxes, frescoed ceiling, excellent acoustics.
After decades of intense activity and transformation the Marenco reopened in 2007 completely restored, ready to welcome a new season of cultural life.
A public theatre,
open and participatory
Our theatre is an open, inclusive and participatory public space, designed to welcome people, ideas and experiences. It is a place where culture becomes an opportunity for dialogue collective growth and encounters between different generations.
Each season is built with care and attention, with the aim of offering quality proposals accessible to all.
We programme plays, concerts, dance, readings, lectures, matinees for schools and multidisciplinary festivals, creating a dynamic calendar combining the best of the national and local scene.
We give space to emerging companies, collaborate with educational institutions cultural associations and social realities in the area to create a theatre that is truly at the service of the community.
A cultural garrison for the city
The Carlo Marenco Theatre is a public cultural space, open to the city and the territory, where programming meets the community and the new generations.
