Auditorium Parco della Musica
Inaugurated in 2002, it is the large multifunctional cultural center designed byRenzo Piano for the city of Rome. The complex is made up of three large blocks in the form of a “scarab” covered by sheets of lead and arranged around a large open-air theatre (holding about 3000 spectators). The three interior halls are Sala Sinopoli, Sala Santa Cecilia, Sala Petrassi. During the work, the remains of a roman villa from the Sixth Century B.C. were found, that had been abandoned around the Third Century A.D., visible today in a specially created museum inside the complex.
