Who knows the Teatro del Sale in Florence? If you never been there, you have to go and spend an evening in your life.
You'll spend a wonderful evening with many of life's pleasures, like eating well, drinking good wine, enjoy the italian typical conviviality and watch an high quality theatrical performance, all this at a fixed price of 30 €.
The place is a kind of private club, where you must have a membership card to enter (you can do it at the moment).
They've got a few of funny and original rules to respect there: for exemple is a must socialize and exchange news each other, otherwise the non-renewal of the card. :)
Furniture and atmosphere put you right in Florence in fiftteenth century, and the cook calls diners from a window when plate is ready with a typical accent and urges them to self-service or yells if he sees them use a double ration of schiacciata all'olio (a kind of very tasty bread).
After dinner, the saff systems sittings in front of the stage and you can assist at the show. Yesterday there was a very brilliant monologue by an apulian actor, Ippolito Chiarello.
He had the brilliant idea to presenting the same show in the streets and sell it in pieces, each with a fixed price, from 2 to 15 euros per scene. So, you can request your favourite scene and watch the low-cost show in the street. This also represent a kind of protest against economica cuttings to the culture by the government.
The actor is on tour and you can watch his performances also in Paris and London (more info
here).
And you? What did you do this saturday, guys? This was my outfit for the evening: I'm quite in a spring mood, also because in a few days I shall see Gab, at last!
Have a good Sunday!
