| Trevi’s
interest in the theatre dates back to Roman times,
as testified by classical writers and epigraphics,
however no buildings or ruins remain.The Theatre
Clitunno was built in 1875 on a project by the
architect Mollaioli. The impressive drop- curtain
is by Domenico Bruschi (1877). The theatre has
always housed the town’s cultural, social
and recreative activities. Besides shows and performances
by various drama companies and amateur dramatic
societies over the years, the New Year’s
Eve parties of the 30s and 50s are still remembered
with nostalgia. It was renovated in 1993 and is
now part of the Regional drama Circuit with numerous
performances throughout the year.
