The Savoia Theater, located in the first nineteenth-century expansion of the city of Campobasso, immediately outside the medieval walls is part of a block located at the intersection of Via Marconi and Piazza G. Pepe with the main entrance on the latter.
The entire complex of which the theater is part was built in the years 1923/25 on the area of the former theater Margherita, on that of some houses leaning against the Cathedral and on the ground offered free of charge by the City eliminating the connection with Via Marconi. In the block found place in addition to the theater, the Hotel San Giorgio (closed in 1977), the Popular Bank, the daytime baths, several stores and some private homes.
The theater has an entrance area from which you access the foyer where, in the upper part of the walls are represented characteristic places and representative of Molise and Campobasso as well as scenes of daily life of the Molise population painted by Arnaldo De Lisio and dated 1925.
From the foyer one can access the stalls. From here branch off the two staircases for the ascent to the boxes.
The theater is enriched by the golden stuccoes placed on the balustrades of the boxes and by putti on the terminals of the columns that delimit the boxes. The mystic gulf, with a capacity of 30-40 musicians, separates the stalls from the stage. The stage, surrounded on the sides by the dressing rooms, is trapezoidal in shape (minor base of 11 meters, major base of 12.5 and height of 9.50) and is composed of a plank floor sloping towards the stalls. The empty reed of the stage, up to the trellis, is 15.25 meters high; the proscenium is 8 meters high and 9.20 meters wide, it is also made of wood with pilasters and golden friezes. The closure of the proscenium is ensured by the harlequin and the curtain.666665
