Belle storie di Rock'n Roll: what you'll see

Belle storie di Rock'n Roll is presented by Teatro Ghione as an unplugged journey through rock, with previously untold anecdotes, extraordinary encounters and secrets never told before.

A concert with stories

The format is the narrated concert: songs alternate with stories from a career spent between stages, radio and television. Those who know Alteria as a host know that, for her, words count as much as the voice.

Unplugged

The term unplugged, in rock language, means the acoustic version of a repertoire born for electric guitars. Voice, guitar and piano: it's the right scale for a drama theater like Ghione, where listening is seated and focused.

The three key points of the night

The theater sums up the show in three phrases: a powerful voice that has left its mark on Italian rock, the path from the stage with big bands to a solo career, a live show full of energy, experience and passion.

The set list

The set list hasn't been published. The official presentation suggests that the repertoire will cross Alteria's solo career and the world of rock she has moved in, but no titles have been announced.

The musicians on stage: Amudi Safa and Fabio Zacco

On the Ghione stage Alteria is joined by two musicians: Amudi Safa on guitar, whom the theater presents as a collaborator of Piero Pelù and Ultimo, and Fabio Zacco on piano, listed as a musician with Le Vibrazioni.

Amudi Safa

The theater's listing links Amudi Safa's name to two very different artists: Piero Pelù, the voice of Litfiba, and Ultimo, one of the most followed singer-songwriters of the recent generation. A guitarist used to huge stages, here in an acoustic setting.

Fabio Zacco

Fabio Zacco is presented as a musician with Le Vibrazioni, the Milan band that Roman audiences also find in the city's clubs, as on the night of Le Vibrazioni at Largo Venue. The piano, in a rock concert without drums, becomes the rhythmic and harmonic engine.

A trio

Voice, guitar and piano form a bare-bones trio: no rhythm section, no effects. It's the format that puts a voice to the test and, for a singer the theater calls powerful, it's a choice of substance.

Who Alteria is: the biography

Alteria, the stage name of Stefania Bianchi, is an Italian rock singer, radio host and TV presenter, whom Teatro Ghione presents as one of the most authoritative and appreciated voices on the Italian rock scene.

NoMoreSpeech

Her beginnings were with NoMoreSpeech, a band with which she released a self-titled album in 2012. It was the first step of a path that would soon lead her to a solo career.

Encore and La Vertigine

As a solo artist she released two albums: Encore, in 2013, entirely in English, and La Vertigine Prima di Saltare, in 2017, her first work in Italian. The second was produced by Max Zanotti, with whom an artistic collaboration began that continues to this day, with singles such as Peccato and Sacro e Profano.

Space Oddity

In 2017 she released her own reinterpretation of David Bowie's Space Oddity, made with guitarist Osvaldo di Dio: a tribute to one of the founding fathers of rock.

Vita Imperfetta

In 2021 her third album came out, Vita Imperfetta, with the singles Apnea, Benvenuto Bene, Guerra and Zero Necessità. In 2023 she returned with the single Cuore Gelido.

Opening slots

Over her career she has opened concerts for bands such as Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Litfiba. For an Italian singer, going on before names like these means facing huge crowds and the most demanding rock audience.

Radio and television

Alongside music, Alteria works as a radio host and presenter: she has worked with Rock Tv, Rai4, Rai5, Radio Freccia and, according to the theater's presentation, now with Virgin Radio. She's one of the voices the Italian rock audience hears every day, not only from the stage.

Strange Kind of Women

Besides her solo project, she was the voice of Strange Kind of Women, a Deep Purple tribute band with which she played on stages all over Europe.

Recent years

At the end of 2024 she took part in the cover of Tears for Fears' Shout made by The Fottutissimi. The theater also mentions a fourth album in preparation, previewed by the singles Voglio Andare Oltre, Camomilla col gin, Pixies, Wonderful and Personalissima rivolta.

Alteria and radio: a voice the audience already knows

Even before being a singer, for many listeners Alteria is a radio voice: Teatro Ghione recalls her work with Radio Freccia and Virgin Radio, two stations dedicated to rock.

Telling the story of music

Working as a radio host means presenting records, interviewing musicians, telling the story of songs in a few seconds between one track and the next. It's daily training in storytelling, which in a show like Belle storie di Rock'n Roll becomes stage material.

Television

Alongside radio there are her TV experiences with Rock Tv, Rai4 and Rai5, channels where live music and the story of rock have had space. A career that has made Alteria a familiar presence for fans of the genre.

From the microphone to the stage

Moving from the studio microphone to the stage microphone, for one night, is the point of the show: the same voice that tells other people's rock tells its own.

Alteria's discography to listen to before the concert

Alteria has released one album with NoMoreSpeech in 2012 and three solo albums: Encore in 2013, La Vertigine Prima di Saltare in 2017 and Vita Imperfetta in 2021, with a fourth record announced.

Where to start

For those who don't know her, the starting point is La Vertigine Prima di Saltare, her first album in Italian, produced by Max Zanotti, with Peccato and Sacro e Profano. Then Vita Imperfetta, with Apnea and Guerra.

The new songs

The most recent singles, from Voglio Andare Oltre to Camomilla col gin, from Pixies to Personalissima rivolta, preview the fourth album. Listening to them beforehand helps you recognize them if they make the set list.

The tributes

The version of Space Oddity with Osvaldo di Dio and her part in Shout with The Fottutissimi show the performer's tastes, from 1970s British rock to 1980s pop.

Rock in an acoustic version: why it works in a theater

An acoustic rock concert in a traditional Italian-style theater, with orchestra and gallery, changes the relationship between those who play and those who listen: the audience is seated, the volume is moderate, the words can be understood.

The voice at the center

Without drums and without distorted guitars, the voice is exposed. For a singer used to the stages of big rock concerts it's a different test, which brings out control more than power.

The stories

Between one song and the next there's room for stories, which in a noisy club would get lost. That's the heart of the Belle storie di Rock'n Roll format: the storytelling is part of the show, not a pause between songs.

90 minutes

The running time given by the theater, about an hour and a half, is that of a full concert, with no announced intermission. It's best to be in your seat a few minutes before the start.

A curious fact about Alteria, Belle storie di Rock'n Roll at Teatro Ghione, November 14, 2026

The most interesting curious fact is Alteria's double life: singer on stage, radio voice every day. Rock Tv, Rai4, Rai5, Radio Freccia, Virgin Radio: for years she has told the story of other people's rock, presenting records, interviewing musicians, commenting on concerts. It's this experience that makes a show like Belle storie di Rock'n Roll possible. The stories promised by the title, the untold anecdotes and the extraordinary encounters, come from someone who has moved in the world of rock from two sides: as an artist and as a storyteller.

The second curious fact concerns her first record in Italian. After a solo debut entirely in English, Encore, Alteria chose Italian with La Vertigine Prima di Saltare, in 2017. The title itself describes that step: the vertigo of leaving the language of rock to sing in your own.

The third concerns a tribute. In the same year, 2017, she reinterpreted David Bowie's Space Oddity. Bringing Bowie into a personal version is a small act of courage that says a lot about her references.

Teatro Ghione, the theater a few steps from the Vatican

Teatro Ghione is a theater of about 500 seats at Via delle Fornaci 37, a short distance from St. Peter's Square, founded and run until 2005 by actress Ileana Ghione.

Its birth in 1980

On December 9, 1980 Ileana Ghione bought and refitted the old theater on Via delle Fornaci, which has carried her name ever since. An actress who became an entrepreneur and gave Rome a new venue, squeezed between the Vatican and the Janiculum, in an area with no theater tradition.

The repertoire

For decades the program alternated the classical repertoire, with authors such as Wilde, Pirandello, Shakespeare and Goldoni, with modern works and concerts. Today the theater hosts different genres: drama, dance, comedy, music. In autumn 2026, among others, I Fantastici, the flamenco of FlaMENcos and the comedy of Giovanni Cacioppo have passed through.

A hall for acoustic music

Orchestra seating with a gallery, armchairs and a drama stage are the ideal setting for an unplugged concert: no standing audience, focused listening, voice and instruments coming through clean.

Services

Roma Capitale's tourism portal lists Ghione as accessible to people with disabilities and also mentions a dog-sitting service. The theater's website lists, for parking, a free outdoor area, the San Pietro parking garage and a garage in the area.

Ileana Ghione, the actress who bought herself a theater

Ileana Ghione was born in Cortemilia, Piedmont, on January 15, 1931, and died in Rome on December 3, 2005. She was one of the most popular actresses of Italian television in the 1960s.

Her training

In the 1950s she studied at the Accademia nazionale d'arte drammatica in Rome, with Sergio Tofano among her teachers. Then came the TV dramas: Jane Eyre, Una tragedia americana, David Copperfield, I Buddenbrook, Madame Curie, Una donna.

The entrepreneur

In the 1980s she chose theater all the way: she bought a venue and ran it. In 2001 President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi named her Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.

The last night

In December 2005, while performing Euripides' Hecuba on the stage of her theater, Ileana Ghione was taken ill and died shortly after. Her body lay in state in the theater itself.

Something nobody tells you about Alteria, Belle storie di Rock'n Roll at Teatro Ghione, November 14, 2026

What few people say is that a rock concert in a drama theater, a few steps from St. Peter's, is a happy little short circuit. For decades Ghione was the home of Wilde and Pirandello, Shakespeare and Goldoni, and its founder died performing a Greek tragedy. On November 14 the same hall hosts a singer who has opened for Aerosmith and Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's the unplugged format that makes the meeting possible: rock sheds its stadium volume and becomes storytelling, suited to a seated audience.

The second little-mentioned thing concerns the audience. Many know Alteria's voice without ever having seen her sing: they hear her on the radio, they've seen her presenting on TV. The Ghione show is the chance to bring together the speaking voice and the singing one.

The third is practical: in the gallery the ticket costs five euros less, and for an acoustic concert the view from above doesn't hurt the listening.

How to get to Teatro Ghione

The easiest way to get to Teatro Ghione is the regional train to Roma San Pietro station, served by lines FL3 and FL5, a few minutes' walk from Via delle Fornaci.

By train

Roma San Pietro station, opened in 1894 with the line to Viterbo, is today served by FL3 and FL5 regional trains and has a bus stop and a taxi stand. From the station you walk up Via delle Fornaci to the theater.

By bus

The buses serving the area stop at San Pietro station and at Largo di Porta Cavalleggeri, at the start of Via delle Fornaci. Saturday evening lines and times should be checked on the Rome transport company's journey planner.

By car

Ghione's website lists three parking options: a free outdoor area, the San Pietro parking garage and a garage in the area. On Saturday night, in the streets around the Vatican, street parking is hard to find.

By taxi

Roma Capitale's radio taxi answers at 060609. At San Pietro station there's a taxi stand, handy for getting back after 22:30.

My advice for Alteria, Belle storie di Rock'n Roll at Teatro Ghione, November 14, 2026

The first piece of advice is to choose your seat based on listening. In an acoustic concert the orchestra gives closeness to the musicians and the stories. The gallery offers an overall view at a lower price. For a night built on stories, in our view, the orchestra is better, in the central rows.

The second is to arrive early and take a walk first: St. Peter's Square lit up on a Saturday night is a few minutes' walk away. From there you go down toward Via delle Fornaci at your own pace.

The third is to listen to something beforehand: La Vertigine Prima di Saltare and Vita Imperfetta for the solo career, the version of Space Oddity to understand the performer's taste.

The fourth is to stay until the end: in a show that promises secrets never told before, the best stories often come at the end, when the room has warmed up.

Another well-known fact, yet not often mentioned

It's well known that tribute bands are an important part of the Italian rock scene. Less often remembered is that voices with careers of their own have also found space and international audiences there. Alteria was the frontwoman of Strange Kind of Women, a Deep Purple tribute band with which she played on stages all over Europe. Singing the repertoire of Ian Gillan and his bandmates is a very tough school for any rock voice: high notes, power, stamina. It's no surprise the theater calls her a powerful voice.

Another little-mentioned fact: the collaboration with Max Zanotti, producer of her first album in Italian, didn't stop at that record. It continues to this day, according to Ghione's presentation, and has produced singles such as Peccato and Sacro e Profano.

And also: among her recent appearances is the group cover of Tears for Fears' Shout by The Fottutissimi, at the end of 2024. A sign of how the Italian rock scene periodically comes together around shared projects.

The right photo to take at Alteria, Belle storie di Rock'n Roll at Teatro Ghione, November 14, 2026

The right photo, in a drama theater, isn't taken during the concert: the stage lights and the silence of the hall ask for respect. The moment is the final applause, if allowed, with the trio at the front of the stage: voice, guitar and piano, the bare-bones unplugged lineup.

Before going in, the photo to take is the facade of Ghione with the show's poster: a drama theater hosting a rock night is an image that tells the story of the evening well.

The most beautiful photo in the area, though, is taken a few minutes earlier: the colonnade of St. Peter's Square lit up at night, seen from Via di Porta Cavalleggeri or from the entrance to the square.

Some important events that happened here in history

The area of Teatro Ghione has an ancient history. The Leonine Walls ran here, and Porta Cavalleggeri, with the Borgia coats of arms of Pope Alexander VI, was one of the openings toward St. Peter's. On April 30, 1849, right at Porta Cavalleggeri, the first French attack against the Roman Republic was fought and repelled by the defenders. Among them was a young actor destined to become very famous, Tommaso Salvini.

In 1894 San Pietro station opened, on the line to Viterbo, which in the 20th century would also become a film set. On December 9, 1980 Ileana Ghione bought the old theater on Via delle Fornaci and reopened it under her name. On November 25, 1986 George Bernard Shaw's Candida was staged there, directed by Silverio Blasi. In December 2005 Ghione herself was taken ill on stage during Euripides' Hecuba and died shortly after. Her body lay in state in the theater.

For the star of November 14, the dates that matter are these: 2012, the NoMoreSpeech album, 2013, Encore, 2017, La Vertigine Prima di Saltare and Space Oddity, 2021, Vita Imperfetta, 2023, Cuore Gelido, 2024, Shout with The Fottutissimi, then the singles from the new album and the unplugged show.

Who has passed through Alteria, Belle storie di Rock'n Roll at Teatro Ghione, November 14, 2026

For decades the performers of classical drama have passed across Ghione's stage, starting with its founder, Ileana Ghione, who performed there until her last night. In the hall on Via delle Fornaci, Wilde and Pirandello, Shakespeare and Goldoni, Shaw directed by Silverio Blasi have alternated, and in recent years dance, comedy and concerts.

On November 14 Alteria takes the stage with Amudi Safa and Fabio Zacco. And with them, in the stories, a piece of rock history ideally passes through: Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Litfiba, for whom Alteria opened, Piero Pelù and Ultimo, with whom Safa has worked, Zacco's Le Vibrazioni, Max Zanotti and Osvaldo di Dio, studio collaborators, Deep Purple, paid tribute to for years with Strange Kind of Women, and David Bowie, reinterpreted in 2017.

Litfiba fans can see the band live in Rome in the same season, with the concert at Atlantico on December 2.

How to organize the night at Ghione

A night at Teatro Ghione for Alteria's concert is easy to organize around St. Peter's: afternoon in the area, early dinner, concert at 21:00, after-theater in Borgo or Prati.

The afternoon

On Saturday afternoon the Vatican area is crowded: those who want to visit the basilica or the Vatican Museums need to book and set out early. Those who prefer calm go up the Janiculum for sunset, around 17:00 in mid-November.

Dinner

A 19:30 dinner in the trattorias of the residential streets leaves time to reach the theater half an hour early and choose your seat calmly.

Getting back

The concert ends around 22:30. Those going back by train should check the last FL3 or FL5 train from San Pietro station. Otherwise, a taxi from the station's stand.

What to see around Teatro Ghione

Teatro Ghione is in the area between St. Peter's, Borgo and the Janiculum: those who arrive early have plenty of options for the afternoon.

St. Peter's

St. Peter's Square is a few minutes' walk away. St. Peter's Basilica, on Saturday, is open until the late afternoon, with security checks at the entrance: it's best to check the hours.

Borgo and Castel Sant'Angelo

Between St. Peter's and the Tiber lies the Borgo district, which leads to Castel Sant'Angelo: a half-hour walk, perfect before dinner.

The Janiculum

Behind the theater rises the Janiculum, with its terrace over the city. Farther south is Villa Doria Pamphilj, the large park for the next morning.

Where to eat before or after the concert

Around Teatro Ghione the choice is typical of the Vatican area: plenty of tourist restaurants near the square, more authentic places in the residential streets.

Before

In the streets between Via delle Fornaci, Via Gregorio VII and the slopes of the Janiculum there are pizzerias, trattorias and bars frequented mostly by people who live in the neighborhood. For a dinner before 21:00 they're the best choice.

After

The concert ends around 22:30: on Saturday night there's time for an after-theater stop in Borgo, Prati or Trastevere, reachable in a few minutes by taxi or with a walk along the Tiber.

Accessibility and practical tips

Teatro Ghione is listed as accessible to people with disabilities by Roma Capitale's tourism portal, and the theater's website has a section on accessible shows.

People with disabilities

For wheelchair users or those who need assistance, it's useful to call the theater before the night, at 06 6372294, to find out how access is organized and where the reserved seats are.

Age

A 90-minute acoustic concert at 21:00 on a Saturday is also suitable for teenagers who love rock. The official pages don't list age limits.

What to bring

Your ticket, printed or on a charged phone, and a jacket for the walk back: in mid-November, after 22:30, the evening around St. Peter's is cool and often damp.

Carta cultura

Ghione's website states that you can get into the theater with the carta cultura: useful information for younger people.

Mid-November in Rome

Mid-November is the heart of the Roman theater season, with full halls and shortening evenings. November 14 is a Saturday: those coming from out of town can spend the day at the Vatican, the Vatican Museums or Castel Sant'Angelo, have dinner in the area and end the night at Ghione. After 22:30 the area around St. Peter's is quiet, and the lit colonnade is the backdrop for the walk toward Borgo.
