The Ariston theater in San Remo is the famous stage where the Italian song festival or, simply, Festival di Sanremo takes place every year.
The Ariston, during the year, is a multiplex cinema, and a theater where ballet, opera, exhibitions, cabaret and other musical events such as the Tenco Prize are performed.
The main hall where the festival is held has a seating capacity of 2,000.
If during your stay in San Remo you feel like spending an evening at the cinema, I recommend that you do just that at the Ariston, to breathe in the atmosphere of this historic place. Otherwise you can simply take a picture of me in front of the famous entrance.

Address: Via Giacomo Matteotti, 212, 18038 San Remo IM
Hours: 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
