April 28th 1937 - Cinecittà

On this day, Benito Mussolini inaugurated Cinecittà Studios, built in only 15 months, under the slogan “Cinematography is the most powerful weapon”.

It was part of a plan to revive the Italian film industry. The goal was achieved, so much so that the studios were later dubbed “Hollywood on the Tiber”, in the 1950s.

Today, it is the largest film studio in Europe. More than 3,000 movies have been filmed there, of which 90 received an Academy Award nomination and 47 of these won it.

The Tripcovich “theatre” was inaugurated on December 15th, 1992. The city of Trieste, at the time, needed a new space for plays because the other two most notable theatres (Teatro Verdi and Politeama Rossetti) were going through a period of major renovations. The building chosen to host the new hall was the old bus station, remained unused since after the end of WWII. It was originally built in 1935 as “Stazione Comunale Autolinee”, with the goal of lightening the traffic in a very busy part of the city.
