The most prestigious cultural building in Bari and Apulia, Teatro Petruzzelli is Italy’s fourth largest theatre and the biggest private theatre in Europe. Located in the heart of the city on Corso Cavour, it stands close to the Palazzo dell’Acquedotto Pugliese. Inaugurated in 1903, it was destroyed by an arson attack in 1991 and rebuilt to its former glory in 2009. The building is in Umbertino style, typical of late-19th century Italy, and fits harmoniously with the rest of the Murat district, the newer part of town. The Fondazione Lirico-Sinfonica Petruzzelli oversees the busy artistic program of the theatre, which can seat up to 1,500 spectators.
