The intervention affects the internal area of Melito Porto Salvo’s territory, on the ionic coast in Calabria, at the top of a 250 metres a.s.l. natural terrace, that seems quite ready to be environmentally developed and that offers an outstanding landscape: the ancient village of Pentedattilo, a historic and natural heritage, is situated over the plateau, embedded into the rock at about 500 metres; downstream are the fiumara S.Elia, the Jonio Sea and, in the background, the western Sicily coast with Ebrodi mounts and Etna’s outlines. Aiming to greatly develop this area’s peculiarities, the theatre models itself on the natural ground’s profile, with the Cavea drawn by iron press-formed curved flanks that essentially represent the treatment works; the facilities body is placed in the backstage and is embedded in the party wall towards the new buit-up area. The Foyer, the Cavea and the Belvedere areas are positioned inside of the iron curved marks, so as the audience may look at a wonderful landscape both on the Ionio side and on the old village one: a show within a show. The adopted materials have been searched in the local building tradition; the theatre’s side banks are made of controlled oxidation iron according to some aesthetic and functional patterns; the equipment fits the place’s aspect and colours, and the slabs, which function also as a windbreak shielding system, can be reused at the end of the building work’s vital cycle.
