To give them a place of entertainment the Kursaal was built, designed by Eug\u00e8ne Ferret in the Liberty style and opened in January 1905. The building soon became the centre of the town&#8217;s social life.<\/p>\n<p>In January 1951 the Casino&#8217;s ballroom hosted the first edition of the Italian Song Festival, which stayed here until it moved to the Ariston Theatre in 1977.
