Context and history

Soverato's theatrical life belongs to the town's modern era. After the 1783 earthquake destroyed the old hilltop borgo, the community rebuilt first on the hill and then, decisively, at the shore, where the twentieth century brought the tourist boom, the lungomare whose first nucleus dates to 1960, and the public buildings needed by a growing service centre. The via Amirante quarter condensed that modernity: classrooms, sports halls, stadiums and — per the municipal account — the Teatro Comunale. The theatre serves as a venue for theatre and performance in Soverato's modern civic quarter.
