The Luigi Mercantini Theater is named after a poet of the Risorgimento from Ripatransone. The hall has a capacity of about 250 spectators and occupies the entire first and second floors of the Palazzo del Podestà (or degli Anziani), whose main facade, with Gothic features, creates a strong visual impact on the building fabric. The two lateral wings were built at the end of the 19th century by the engineer Pietro Dasti. The U-shaped shape of the hall was probably due to space requirements: the neoclassical architect Pietro Maggi was conditioned by the pre-existing wall structures of the ancient palace in which the theater hall was inserted. It was decorated in 1875 by Giovanni Micca and enriched by a historic curtain by the artist Ruffini di Falerone. The splendid flat ceiling, characterized by harmonious colors, is decorated with a series of medallions. Six of them depict the faces of Rossini, Verdi, Bellini, Metastasio, Goldoni and Alfieri.
