Collegio San Carlo's Theater

The Theater of the Collegio San Carlo was inaugurated in 1737. It was obtained from the transformation of the rooms on the upper floor of the ancient Osteria del Montone which, in those years, had been purchased and incorporated into the constantly expanding Collegio building.
