A modern concert hall where symphonic excellence resonates in intimate acoustic splendor. The Auditorium di Milano Fondazione Cariplo is a triumphant multifunctional concert venue, home to the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi (laVerdi) since its inauguration in 1999. Located in the lively Navigli area, this sophisticated hall offers a soul-stirring experience of classical music, choral performances, chamber concerts, and diverse events in a contemporary yet welcoming setting—serving as a high-end cultural cornerstone amid the vibrant atmosphere of the 2026 Winter Games in Milano Cortina.
With 1,253 seats (744 in the platea, 161 in the balconata, plus additional spaces), the auditorium features excellent sightlines, superior acoustics, and versatility for symphonic, choral, chamber, and educational programs. It includes a box office and accessible facilities. Easily reachable via Romolo metro station (M2 green line) or tram/bus from central Milan, with nearby parking.
As the primary home of laVerdi, the Auditorium embodies Milan’s dedication to accessible symphonic music, hosting full orchestral seasons, chamber series, family concerts, and community initiatives. It reflects the “Made in Italy” legacy of fostering musical excellence through inclusive programming that welcomes diverse audiences to classical and contemporary repertoire.
