Teatro della Limonaia was established in 1987 in Sesto Fiorentino an XVI century historical venue in Florence. Limonaia manages the Intercity Festival, founded in 1988, which includes new works, repertory programming, readings, meeting with authors, exhibitions, performances and workshops  from a different target city/country each year. The Theatre is also involved with projects as the acting school Scuola di Teatro Intercity, and other youth projects.

Teatro della Limonaia/Intercity Project started to work and invest in young people, on and off the stage, many years ago. The aim was to show young people that theatre is more than 'a stage' and that it can open up a world of possibilities, giving life to their talents and cultural activities. Limonaia has become a theatre strongly associated with young audiences and youth in general. Find out more about Teatro della Limonaia
