Piccolo Teatro Grassi is one of the three theaters operated by The Piccolo Teatro della Citta di…read moreMilano (The Little Theatre of the City of Milan). It is named for Paolo Grassi, one of the theater's founders.
I wasn't able to attend a performance in the theatre, but did attend a performance for children, in the building courtyard. The actors and staging were wonderful, and the children laughed uproariously.
Five Stars.
As an aside: There is a very sobering plaque on the outside wall of Piccolo Teatro Grassi, that roughly translates from Italian:
"HERE BETWEEN September 8, 1943 April 25, 1945 AND NOW HAVE FOUND THE TORTURE AND DEATH HUNDREDS OF FREEDOM FIGHTERS OF PRISONERS OF FASCISTI
LITTLE THEATRE HAS MADE THIS EDIFICIOUN CENTER AND A SYMBOL OF REBIRTH OF CULTURAL AND DEMOCRATIC LIFE OF MILAN"
Thank You, Google Translate!, and Thank You, Piccolo Teatro della Citta di Milano.
