MATER FESTIVAL
ilCAntinonearte Teatri of Montepulciano and San Girolamo Estate


ilCAntinonearte Teatri is in the ex-depository of San Girolamo Estate, a building located between Porta a Prato and the strong city wall Sangallo that encloses Montepulciano. It is inside of a big block in the historical center.
The original unit was built in XIII Century - the first stone was layed probably in 1206. It was as a convent able to host up to 200 nuns and it has been active until the end of XVIII Century.
After the suppression of the holy orders by the Lorenas, the estate was used for different activities. In the XIX Century it became a prestigious private school for women ("Conservatorio").

San Girolamo Estate, even if is still part of the Department for Education proprieties, is not a school anymore but hosts many activities: offices, a police station, a school of dance and private apartments.
In January 2005 ilCAntinonearte Tatri became part of the estate activities. The process of restoration respected firmly the original structure of the old monastry depository and at the same time assured the maximum flexibility in the set up, keeping visible its stones, to highlight the story of the place.
The project for the restoration and rehabilitation of the structure was created by the architect Franca Salerno.
