Theatrical Season at the Giustiniano Villa Municipal Theatre
The theatre review of San Clemente by Città Teatro
About Villa Theatre San Clemente
A Small Theatre with Great Character
The Giustiniano Villa Municipal Theatre is located in the hamlet of Sant'Andrea in Casale, in the Municipality of San Clemente, in the Province of Rimini (Emilia-Romagna). Inaugurated in 2002 and named after the San Clemente dialect poet Giustiniano Villa, it is an intimate and modern venue with about 120 movable seats, designed to accommodate performances, concerts, and workshops. For over a decade, the programming has been managed by the Città Teatro association, which has made it a cultural hub for the entire Rimini hinterland.
The 2025-2026 Season: "The Bulky Season"
The 2025-2026 season is titled La Stagione Ingombrante (The Bulky Season) and runs from November to May in a club format: the theatre opens at 8:00 PM, and the audience can enjoy an aperitif before the show, accompanied by a surprise pre-show by Città Teatro. The first part, in autumn, featured the comedy of Annagaia Marchioro, the Lady Comedy Show by Luisella Tamietto, an encounter with Valerio Aprea, and a performance by Claudio Morici produced by Teatro Metastasio di Prato.
Theatre for Families and Schools
The heart of the second part is the review "A teatro con mamma e papà" (Theatre with Mom and Dad), with Sunday afternoon events designed for children, alongside "Con la classe a teatro" (With the Class at the Theatre), matinees dedicated to local schools. Titles in the lineup include Le due foreste, Decamerone, Sulle tracce della volpe, Minipin, and Seggioline, performances ranging from storytelling to actor-based theatre.
The Showcase Season
Closing the review, between late April and mid-May, is La Stagione dei Saggi (The Showcase Season): a series of showcase performances featuring over 70 students from the theatre workshops for children, teenagers, and adults conducted by Città Teatro throughout the year. It is the moment when the theatre gives back to the community the work of an entire season of training.
A Cultural Hub for San Clemente
With its programming attentive to both contemporary theatre and family audiences, the Villa Theatre represents a rare example of cultural vibrancy in a small inland municipality. The collaboration between the Municipality of San Clemente and Città Teatro makes it a season capable of weaving together authorial drama, comedy, children's theatre, and education, enhancing the hills between the Valconca and the Romagna Riviera.
