Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo

What Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo does

Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo is a private non-profit foundation (Fondazione) founded in 2003 and headquartered in Turin, Italy, at via Andrea Doria 9. It is a recognized Regional Multidisciplinary Circuit (Circuito Regionale Multidisciplinare) accredited by Italy's Ministry of Culture (Ministero della Cultura) and the Piedmont Region, with Regione Piemonte acting as the sole founding member. The Foundation's primary function is the territorial decentralization and circuitation of live performing arts across the entire Piedmont region, curating and distributing theatre, dance, music, and contemporary circus programming from regional, national, and international companies to over 30 municipalities, ranging from provincial capitals to small villages.

The Foundation operates a portfolio of ten distinct program lines including municipal theatre seasons (Le stagioni comunali), the emerging-company project Corto Circuito, the dance center Lavanderia a Vapore in Collegno, the cultural transformation agency Hangar Piemonte, the accessibility initiative Teatro No Limits, the digital platform onLive, the contemporary dance showcase We Speak Dance, the young independent music network Glocal Sound, the regional jazz extension TJF Piemonte, and the youth and family programming Nuove Generazioni. Its business model is publicly funded: the Foundation receives institutional funding from the Ministry of Culture and Regione Piemonte as a recognized Circuit, with ancillary revenue from ticketing and partner discount programs (FAI, Abbonamento Musei, Feltrinelli, Carta Giovani Nazionale). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by municipality and season. The Foundation is integrated into multiple European networks (EDN, ENCC, Europe Beyond Access) and Italian networks (A.R.T.I., Anticorpi XL, N.I.D. Platform, In-Box, Fringe in Rete), and is led by President Manuela Maria Lamberti and Director Matteo Negrin, with a staff organization spanning administration, artistic programming, communication, contracts and ticketing, monitoring and evaluation, and dedicated teams at Lavanderia a Vapore and Hangar Piemonte.

Broad incumbents

• Piccolo Teatro di Milano: Milano-based major publicly-supported theatre institution producing and touring performing arts. Comparable public-funding model and national/international distribution, though primarily a venue-based producer rather than municipal circuit operator.
• Teatro Stabile di Napoli: Historic Campanian national theatre institution and A.R.T.I. member with broader production and venue operations. Comparable public-funded theatre institution but with a wider scope including resident venues rather than pure circuit function.

Comparable ecosystem participant representing 14 circuits and 600+ theatres across Italy — a peer in the same network rather than a direct operational competitor.
