Teatro Arciliuto is a renowned venue in Rome dedicated to early music and theatrical performances. Established in 1986 by Roberto Catalano, the theatre’s name references the archlute, a large bass lute popular during the Renaissance and Baroque eras, reflecting its core artistic focus. The theatre occupies a space within the Palazzo Davanzati, a historic Florentine residence dating back to the 14th century, offering a uniquely intimate setting for performances. It has become a significant center for research and promotion of historical performance practices in Italy, frequently hosting both established ensembles and emerging artists specializing in early music repertoire. The theatre's programming extends beyond concerts to include workshops and educational initiatives.
