Italian and American communities share theatrical entertainment at Soldiers’ Theatre

The Teatro Olimpico (Olympic Theatre), a renaissance era theatre by architect Andrea Palladio, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site here, brought a significant performance about the arrival of Americans in Vicenza in 1955, to the Soldiers’ Theatre, on Caserma Ederle Oct. 21, 2023.

“Caserma Ederle is the ideal place to present ‘Americans in Vicenza,’ a story written by Vicenza native Goffredo Parise, published in 1958,” said Antonio Stefani, a long-time journalist for Il Giornale di Vicenza, the local newspaper since 1915, as well as for theater magazines.
