Established in 2004, I Borghi srl oversees the management of the Auditorium Conciliazione in Rome, a venue that has consistently been at the forefront of Rome’s events scene. This historic emblem of Rome’s music scene has been the venue of choice for numerous pivotal events and acclaimed performances, both on a national and international scale. Over the years, it has showcased a diversearray of musical productions, spanning from symphonic to popular music. Its strategic proximity to St.Peter’s and central Rome, combined with the expansive seating capacity of 1,763 in its Great Hall — the largest in Rome — makes the Auditorium Conciliazione an ideal venue for classical, symphonic, popular music, and dance performances. Furthermore, its state-of-the-art digital projection system makes it a prime choice for major film premieres.
I Borghi srl, in collaboration with a consortium of private entities, has also been awarded the managerial concession for the Roman Theater of Ostia Antica. The primary aim is the enhancement and promotion of the Archaeological Site of Ostia Antica. This includes hosting and promoting musical, theatrical, and dance events, and tapping into the significant tourist traffic that flows between Rome, its ports, coastal areas, and nearby airport.
In 1978 the Board of Trustees was legally created to regulate the Mérida Festival and in 2002 the Consortium of the “Board of the International Classical Theatre Festival at the Roman Classic Theatre of Mérida was created, with the mission of managing and promoting the International Theatre Festival. The board is made up of the Regional Government of Extremadura (Junta de Extremadura), Mérida City Council, Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, as well as Provincial Councils of Cáceres and Badajoz.
