This theatre was founded at the end of 1700; it has been seat of the Animosi Academy till 1938. From 1970 to 1997 it has been closed because it was unfit for use. Now it opens only sometimes for particular celebrations such as those dedicated to Dino Campana, the poet born in Marradi. The opening of the hall coincided with a new period of its activity: exhibitions, meetings, dance school, theatre lab, recording hall, disco and cinema.
