Casinò di Sanremo
Casinò di Sanremo stands in Sanremo, Italy, as an Art Nouveau landmark designed by French architect Eugène Ferret. Its Liberty Deco style remains a distinctive architectural feature. The complex connects with Via Matteotti, Sanremo’s main pedestrian street, and offers wheelchair access.
It began as a Kursaal in 1905. The original venue hosted theatre, concerts, dining, and social meetings for international visitors. Seven architectural proposals preceded the selection of Ferret’s design. A tram connection arrived in 1913, and later legal change let Sanremo run gambling and fund public works. The city has owned the casino throughout its history. It hosted the Sanremo Music Festival during its early years, before the event moved to the Ariston Theatre.
It also became a filming location for several films. Inside, the theatre shares the building with gaming rooms, restaurants, bars, and a roof garden. Concerts, literary gatherings, conferences, and gala dinners have all taken place here. The casino closed during the Second World War, escaped wartime damage, and reopened about seven months after the conflict.
