I remember we carefully analysed the structure of the existing London theatre and in 5 days we made a scale model of it (scale 1:20). The theatre should have been constructed in only 3 months, the 3 summer months, by the way… The entire structure ought to be self-bearing and removable Reliability and engineering skills were essential for the construction of the theatre, but there were other project requisites that made Devoto the only company that could this job: In 2003 the Silvano Toti Foundation decided to give the city of Rome this open-air theatre and to place it inside Villa Borghese, in the pulsing heart of the city.

#GIGI PROIETTI HOW TO#
On 25th April 2003 I was asked a simple question: “Do you know how to make a wooden theatre?” My answer was “Yes, we do”.
We are sure this summer season will be a great success. Those who know us might remember that in 2003 we built the entire structure of the Globe Theatre and can understand how excited we were to get back to this amazing theatre in Villa Borghese, in the heart of Rome.īut why did Devoto – who had always dealt with bespoke furniture for Interiors – decide to make this outdoor theatre? We will tell you in a few lines, but first let’s wish good luck to the Globe Theatre, its actors, and all the professionals involved.

We are happy we have contributed to the re-opening of the Globe Theatre with some maintenance works. Here you can read the story of the famous Elizabethan theatre in Rome built by Devoto. Last night the city projected an image of Proietti's face on the Colosseum and the Campidoglio, while many Romans took to their balconies to applaud one of the city's favourite sons.Gigi Proietti Globe Theatre: maintenance operations completed for the opening of the summer season. His funeral will be preceded by a ceremony at city hall before a procession in cars will visit some of places in Rome dearest to his heart, including the Brancaccio Theatre on Via Merulana and the Globe in Villa Borghese. There will be a maximum of 60 guests and the ceremony will be screened live on RAI 3 at 13.00. Proietti's funeral will take place at the Chiesa degli Artisti in Piazza del Popolo, without the public, to avoid any crowds due to the covid-19 protocols.
The decision was announced on 3 November by Rome mayor Virginia Raggi in a decision taken in collaboration with the Silvano Toti Foundation which financed the theatre's construction in 2003.īuilt in just three months, in the heart of the capital's Villa Borghese park, the theatre was the result of an idea by Proietti who was the artistic director of the popular Shakespearean festival each summer. Rome is to rename the city's Globe Theatre after Gigi Proietti, the much-loved actor, director and comedian who died yesterday on his 80th birthday. Proietti had a long and fruitful association with Rome's Globe Theatre.
