This theatre was built in 1854 on the memory of Nicolo Piccinni.

Niccolo Piccinni’s father didn’t want him to study music so he had to pay his music studies himself. He worked and studied in Napoli and he became one of the best composers. Also he

played in the palace of Marie Antoniette during the French

Revolution. He produced funny music. =)
