"Completed in 2002, this cluster of auditoriums has come to be regarded as one of Renzo Piano’s most successful designs. The arrangement centres on three large concert halls: the Sala Petrassi, which seats 700; the Sala Sinopoli, with a capacity of 1,200; and the Sala Santa Cecilia, which seats 2,800. The three structures are completely independent, each with its own beetle-like shell and individual character, but are grouped together in an architectural tête-à-tête. They form an inviting backdrop to outdoor performances or you can take a stroll around the raised gardens that surround them. The trio quickly numbered among Europe’s most frequented cultural music destinations and no wonder: together they are a perfect orchestration."
