26 August 2023
Sunday, August 27 marks the anniversary of his death. No events are scheduled in his hometown, Turin. Only the Regio Theatre will pay tribute to him with an exhibition (but in October).
In the city, it seems that only the Regio Theatre remembers him, while looking further afield, an initiative stands out in Sauze d’Oulx, where on Sunday at 11 a.m., a meeting will be held at the Chalet Mollino. This Sunday marks exactly fifty years since the death of Carlo Mollino, the brilliant architect, now celebrated at his Casa Mollino, managed by Fulvio Ferrari and open for visits by appointment, and since the 50th anniversary of the reopening of the Regio Theatre.
The theatre reopened on April 10, 1973, with Vespri Siciliani, directed by Maria Callas, after decades of closure following the 1936 fire, rebuilt according to Mollino’s design. It was Mollino, to whom the small square from which artists and technicians access the theatre is dedicated (and which Superintendent Mathieu Jouvin hopes to work on in the future), who reinvented the theatre in its current form.
