ARENA FLEGREA

Located in the Fuorigrotta district, the Arena was built between 1938 and 1940 for the Mostra d'Oltremare, a universal exhibition to celebrate the colonial expansion of fascist Italy. Inspired by the theatres of Greco-Roman antiquity, this vast modern theatre, representative of the rationalist architecture of the 1930s, now hosts numerous concerts and festivals. Internationally renowned artists such as Bob Dylan, B.B. King and Ben Harper have performed there, and several operas(Aida, Tosca...) have been performed there.
