The Teatro Filodrammatici of Piacenza is an Art Nouveau-style theater located at Via Santa Franca #33 in Piacenza, Italy.
The site originally housed the Church and part of the Cistercian Monastery of Santa Franca, built in 1549. The church was dedicated to Saint Franca and housed her relics. The order was suppressed during Napoleonic rule, and in the following decades, the buildings were used for various secular purposes, including as a barracks. The monastery was later converted into the Music Conservatory Giuseppe Nicolini. The Società Filodrammatica was a social group officially recognized in 1825 by the government of Duchess Maria Louise of Austria. In the early 20th century, the group was granted the site of the church to build a theater. The facade was designed by the engineer Gazzola. The theater was inaugurated in 1908 and remained in use until the 1980s when the roof began to deteriorate, leading to its closure. After years of restoration, the theater was reopened in 2000. The interior seats nearly 300 spectators. [1]
