Teatro di Rifredi

The theatre was built in 1913 by the members of the centennial Mutual Benefit Society of Rifredi who are still the owners. During the mid-20s it was burned by the fascist brigades and later transformed into a Casa del Fascio (local fascist headquarters).

After the war, the workers members of the Mutual Benefit Society of Rifredi were obliged to buy it again from the State, pawning their personal properties to pay. Since 1967 activities re-started and at the end of the ‘60s, beginning of the ‘70s, the theatre took the name of “Humor Side” and became an important meeting place for young people, dedicated to cabaret and pantomime. The Rifredi is now managed by the Compagnia Pupi e Fresedde.
