The headquarters of the Reale Società Ginnastica, located in Via Magenta 11 in Torino, is of great architectural and historical value, and has always been dedicated at athletic and cultural preparation of the youths. According to some researches made by the Polytechnic University of Turin, it results that our seat was one of the first sport buildings in Italy, by both number and size of training rooms, as much as to become an object of deeper studies even in the academic fields of the Architecture Faculty. Therefore, there are 2.500 sqm available for the students, developed over 5 floors subdivided in 9 training rooms.
Inaugurated in January 2016, it is the new space of the school, in a former industrial hangar in the suburbs of Torino, in the Barriera di Milano neighbourhood. Located in Via Niccolò Paganini 0/200, it is part of the area that hosts the cultural project Bunker. Born as a new training space, since October 2016 it is has been converted into a welcoming and equipped theatre.
The Spazio is an open space of 700 sqm, that allows the FLIC to manage at best its numerous students who, every year, are selected for the formations.
A space exclusively aimed to the circus arts: not only hosting a part of the lessons of the professional training and the companies and artists in residence, it even has the possibility of becoming a theatre welcoming audience for our productions and our season of shows, with all necessary stage and lighting equipment.
