It was called “Piccolo Piccinni,” like the oldest theater in Bari, the Teatro Comunale di Massafra, in Piazza Garibaldi, due to its original horseshoe shape.\n\nOperational since the 1800s, the theater was an important stop for traveling troupes and hosted intense theatrical activity until the early decades of the 1900s, before being transformed into a cinema in the 1950s. It was then that it took on its current configuration, with the disappearance of the stage, the wings, and the curtain, a tiered seating area, and the loggia rebuilt from scratch.\n\nToday the building is managed by the Teatro delle Forche company, offers a rich theater season, and is one of the most active cultural venues in the city.
