Luigi Pirandello Theater
LOCATION: Piazza Pirandello
DATING: 1870
DESCRIPTION: Already named after the Queen margherita, it was built in 1870 by Giovan Battista Basile and Dionisio Sciascia and inaugurated in 1881. The current title to Luigi Pirandello was decided in 1946 to celebrate the XNUMXth anniversary of the Nobel Prize's death. One of the most significant decorations of the theater is the curtain, representing the valiant Akragantine athlete Esseneto who returns victorious from Elea and painted by the Messina painter Luigi Queriam. The ceiling and the front of the boxes are instead the result of the precious and refined work of the three Milanese artists Giuseppe Sacco, Giovanni Belloni and Antonio Tavella, who elegantly decorated the interior of the theater
