Secci theatre
Due also to the legislative complexity of the recovery of a disused industrial area, which included assigning part of the area to a private company to create a shopping centre, that warehouse had been left out. It was among the outbuildings of the shopping centre, but no plans had been drawn up for its reuse.
This was also due to its position, at the end of the area towards Via Giandimartolo da Vitalone and perpendicular to the long strip that, along the same road, had originally housed the apartments of the company managers, later included as a residential area in the recovery project and subsequently, following a revision of the same project, as a museum and training centre. It is for this reason that the warehouse was the last portion of the restoration and reuse of the former Siri.
The abundance of space led to the idea of reusing it as an experimental- type theatre. This is how what is now the Secci Theatre was formed. The work was carried out and completed in 2010, when it was inaugurated and dedicated to the memory of Sergio Secci, a young Terni theatre enthusiast who was killed in the Bologna station massacre on 2 August 1980 at the age of 24. He had graduated from DAMS in Bologna and went to the station that morning for the train to Treviglio for an appointment with a theatre group with whom he was to collaborate for a series of shows.
The city of Terni wanted to perpetuate his memory by dedicating the new theatre of the former Siri complex to him, in a structure that fuses working-class culture (from which Sergio Secci originated) with all-round art. A building that is part of the industrial archaeological heritage houses state-of-the-art technical facilities. It seats three hundred people.
