CAMOGLI SOCIAL THEATRE
Inaugurated on the 30th of September, 1876, Camogli Social Theatre is an example of teatro all’italiana, with horse shoe diagram with 4 orders of balconies and gallery.Camogli’s Theatre was commissioned by 60 families of the local bourgeoisie that directly or indirectly made their fortune with the sea,in a period in which Camogli was called “the city of the thousands white vessels” and was one of the major constructors and ship owners of that time.

After years of closure,thanks to the birth in 2002 of theFondazione Teatro Sociale promoted by the box holders, descendants of the historic owners, the Social Theatre was brought to its full recovery and structural adjustment.On the 30th September 2016 (exactly 140years from its opening!) the Social Theatre finally reopenedand fully resumed its activity.
