Giovanni Sollima's cello celebrates the opening of the Teatro Civico in Rho. What was once a perfume factory is now a theatre dedicated to Roberto de Silva. Two halls with good acoustics, one with 700 seats, the other with 120 seats, and a stage with great scenic versatility. Work started five years ago and was completed last summer. The Civic Theatre “Roberto de Silva” è is part of a dimension in which the cityà the centre of the metropolis dialogues with the municipalities around it, a new cultural institution born out of the agreement between Bracco Real Estate, owner of the land, and the Municipality of Rho.
