Conference Area | Halls for Events in the Fortress of VIgnola

Hall of Contrari

Located in the basement are the Hall of Grassoni and Hall of Contrari, so named to commemorate the two families who contributed to the transformation of the fortress from a fortress to an aristocratic dwelling, used as spaces to host cultural events and demonstrations.

The L-shaped Contrari Hall is particularly original because of its barrel ceiling, which at the intersection of the two arms forms a wide and mighty cross. It can seat up to 248 people and, thanks to its perfect acoustics, is especially suitable for the performance of classical music concerts.

It is equipped with a heating system and sound amplification, with 3 microphones on the table and 1 on the lectern, as well as 2 portable radio microphones. A 5×3 m roll-up screen is set up on the stage.
Wi-Fi internet connection is available upon request.
The hall is accessible to the disabled.
