The new façade has been designed as a large theatrical curtain, symbolically representing the stage itself, the city of Genova & Ivo Chiesa

Lights, digital projections, and other visual elements now characterize the renewed façade of the Teatro Nazionale Ivo Chiesa in Genova, located in Corte Lambruschini near Genova Brignole railway station.

The new façade has been designed by Giò Forma as a large theatrical curtain, symbolically representing three key elements: the stage itself, the city of Genova evoked through the shape of sails, and the figure of Ivo Chiesa, actor, director, and founder of the Teatro Stabile di Genova, to whom the theatre is dedicated, with a reference to his historic magazine Sipario.
