TEATRO NICCOLINI

Via Ricasoli, 3/5, 50144 Firenze

The Niccolini, formerly known as the Teatro del Cocomero, is the oldest theater in Florence and the first “modern” theater in Europe. Its origins date back to the mid-17th century, when a group of nobles rented some rooms in Palazzo Ughi in Via del Cocomero and built the theater there.

Today, under the artistic direction of Maestro Hershey Felder, the Teatro Niccolini offers a rich concert season and is the most beautiful theater in Florence and one of the most exclusive in Italy.
