The Alta Sabina theatre festival directed by Massimo Wertmüller comes to the Teatro Sant'Antonio
Sentieri in Cammino is the theatre and music festival that has been bringing the villages of the Alta Sabina, in the province of Rieti, to life since 2020. The project, now in its seventh edition in 2026, is artistically directed by the Roman actor Massimo Wertmüller and organized by Paolo Di Reda, with the support of the Lazio Region and the Fondazione Varrone. Five municipalities share the programme — Poggio Moiano (lead town), Casaprota, Monteleone Sabino, Montenero Sabino, and Scandriglia — transforming municipal theatres, castles, and squares into a single, widespread stage.
The Scandriglia stop has a special home: the Teatro Comunale Sant'Antonio, created from the restoration of the ancient church of Sant'Antonio thanks to the regional «Un paese ci vuole» grant. Inaugurated on July 2, 2022, with Max Paiella's show «Storie di un cantastorie», it is an intimate 70-seat hall, accessible to people with disabilities and equipped with modern technology: one of the three municipal theatres that, together with those in Poggio Moiano and Casaprota, serve the entire Alta Sabina area.
Between April and May 2026, the theatre will host three events of the festival:
The formula is quality theatre accessible to everyone: a flat ticket price of 10 euros and booking via email or WhatsApp. The intimate hall creates a direct connection between actors and the audience, which is rare in larger circuits, and attracts spectators from Rome and across the Sabina region.
The Municipality of Scandriglia, a village of medieval origins nestled at the foot of the Lucretili Mountains along the ancient Via Salaria, finds in this festival a cultural opportunity that extends beyond the summer season. For the province of Rieti and the inland Lazio region, Sentieri in Cammino represents a virtuous model: bringing top-tier actors to small towns, enhancing restored spaces, and keeping village communities alive through live performance.
The Scandriglia stop of the seventh edition of Sentieri in Cammino offers three evenings at the Teatro Sant'Antonio, under the artistic direction of Massimo Wertmüller and with the support of the Lazio Region and the Fondazione Varrone. It kicks off on Saturday, April 11, with the autobiographical comedy of Stefano Masciarelli, continues on Saturday, May 9, with the couple's comedy by Canadian playwright Michele Riml, and concludes on Sunday, May 24, with Gianni Clementi's play set in war-torn Rome in 1943, blending irony and war memory. All shows are at a popular price, with booking via email or WhatsApp: an opportunity to experience quality theatre in an intimate hall in the heart of the Alta Sabina, in the province of Rieti.
