Teatro delle Vittorie for sale, the solution appears: here’s who can buy it

A few days ago the president of the Rai supervisory commission Barbara Floridia had carried out an inspection of the Teatro delle Vittorie in Rome. “It is the theater of our collective memory – he said as he left – the theater of Italian television, and therefore it must be safeguarded. Of course, it needs restructuring interventions: for this reason too we have also urged Minister Giuli to find a solution, avoiding the privatization of this very precious asset”.

Fiorello and the sale of the Teatro delle Vittorie

For weeks Fiorello has also been campaigning against the sale of the Teatro delle Vittorie. The showman defined the choice to sell as “a crime against the history of Italian entertainment”. “This theater shouldn’t be sold and you shouldn’t even think about selling it for what was experienced in there, for the history of Italian entertainment, for the great variety shows – adds the showman -. The great ‘Fantastico’ by Pippo Baudo, Raffaella Carrà, Mina. All the greats of Italian entertainment have been in here”.

During an episode of La Pennicanza Fiorello had left an audio message addressed directly to Minister Giuli. “We learned that the Fine Arts protect the Theater of Victories – the Sicilian showman had said -. I know that the Rai supervisory authorities today also presented a request to be able to intervene on the issue of the Theatre. We had an idea, the State could buy it and give it as a concession to Rai… It’s cheap, what is 14 million for the State?”. Giuli replied that they would do “everything possible”.
