    The Teatro Povero di Monticchiello is an extraordinary social and cultural project born in 1967 in the small medieval village of Monticchiello (a hamlet of Pienza, in the Val d'Orcia) to respond to the profound identity crisis and depopulation caused by the end of the mezzadria system. Its uniqueness lies in the "autodrama" formula (a term coined by director Giorgio Strehler): a show entirely conceived, written, directed, and performed by the villagers themselves, who every summer perform in the piazza, staging their own lives, historical memory, and present-day issues.

    The Show and the Current Edition (Summer 2026)
    This year's show, marking the historic 60th edition, is titled "The Eye Beyond".
    The Plot: It embraces the life of Carlino, born in 1944 in the heart of a peasant story marked by war and political struggle. His wounded eye becomes a metaphor for a restless gaze, capable of looking beyond immediate reality.
