**"The wise man has a homeland everywhere," said Seneca, but sometimes staying and enduring in a place, especially in difficult times, requires the necessary courage and sowing the future. Among the new things of the new season is also the expansion of the structure, which during the summer underwent significant renovation work, made necessary by the damages caused by bradyseism, which led to the creation of a new venue and the opening of an additional entrance. This logistics will allow increasing workshops and hosting exhibitions, meetings, and screenings, diversifying activities. An operation that has – literally – cemented the artistic partnership with the “Turm 20” Theater in Linz, Austria, where Pietro Tammaro – founder of the space with Mauro Palumbo – has performed in the Shakespearean summer season for years. His artistic direction organized a fundraiser covering 12% of the expenses incurred for the interventions.**
