Gemetflix at Teatro Ghione in brief

Gemetflix is a theatrical variety show by Gemelli di Guidonia built around an imaginary streaming platform that exists only on the stage of Teatro Ghione, for two days and four performances at the end of February 2027.

Dates and times of the performances

Saturday, February 27, 2027 at 17:00 and 20:30, Sunday, February 28, 2027 at 15:30 and 18:15. There are four appointments close together, designed for a weekend: two in the afternoon, one early evening and one evening. The running time is not stated in the official presentation, so it's wise not to schedule commitments too close to the end.

The subtitle

The theater presents Gemetflix with a subtitle, Come si cambia, and with a formula that sums up the idea: the first show in which it is not the audience that changes channel, but the channel that changes the audience.

Prices

Premium orchestra €34.50, standard orchestra €31, gallery €28. The theater's website also notes that you can enter Ghione with the Carta Cultura.

The genre

Ghione places the show in the drama category, but the description clearly speaks of a variety show: comedy, music, surreal characters and irony about the world of the media. It is the form in which the trio has always moved, between song and sketch.

What Gemetflix by Gemelli di Guidonia is about

Gemetflix, according to the presentation by Teatro Ghione, invents a channel that does not exist: a streaming platform that lives neither on television nor online and takes shape only on stage.

A surreal schedule

The stage becomes a programming schedule, in which impossible formats and never-authorized shows follow one another. The audience in the hall is the only real subscriber: it doesn't choose what to watch, because the programming is decided by the three Acciarino brothers on stage.

The remote taken out of your hand

The heart of the idea is a reversal. Someone watching a platform at home has the remote and jumps from one title to another. Someone sitting at Ghione, for once, cannot change channel. The show plays with the language of contemporary media to demonstrate, the theater says, that the most powerful streaming is still the one that happens live.

Nothing is recorded

The presentation insists on one point: in Gemetflix nothing is recorded and nothing can be replicated, every episode exists only here and now. It is a statement of poetics for a trio that built its fame on television and radio, and that returns to the theater as to the place where entertainment cannot be paused.

Modern variety

Ghione defines the show as a modern theatrical variety show, fast-paced and surprising, which takes the mechanisms of digital platforms and brings them back to the most immediate dimension, that of the hall. Those who know Gemelli di Guidonia from their TV parodies can expect songs, impressions, characters and the pace of a broadcast, but without commercials.

Who are Gemelli di Guidonia

Gemelli di Guidonia are a singing and comedy trio made up of three brothers, Pacifico, Gino and Eduardo Acciarino, born in Caserta respectively in 1983, 1985 and 1986.

Brothers, not twins

The name is misleading twice. The three are brothers but not twins, and they were not born in Guidonia but in Caserta, where their father was an Air Force officer. They live in Rome, and it is in Rome that their career took the direction the public knows.

Effervescenti Naturali

Their first steps in music date back to 1999, when the brothers appeared under another name, Effervescenti Naturali. Since then their activity has been divided between music, theater and television, never fully choosing just one of these worlds.

The theater debut

In 2006 they debuted in theater with È permesso?, the show by Enrico Montesano, in the double role of singers and actors. It is their first contact with the variety stage, and with one of the Roman masters of the genre. In the same period they sing the soundtrack of the film Una cella in due and take part in the TV format I Raccomandati.

Meeting Fiorello

The breakthrough came in May 2013: the trio's official website sets the start at May 30. The three approached Fiorello at the bar of Edicola Fiore singing I'm yours and were taken on at once by the showman. From there came a regular spot on the program and, in 2015 and 2016, a theater tour together with Fiorello.

Television

After Edicola Fiore came Quelli che il calcio and Made in Sud. In 2020, during the Sanremo Festival also hosted by Fiorello, they joined Nicola Savino on L'AltroFestival. In the following years they appeared in Only Fun in 2023, in Citofonare Rai 2, in La volta buona and in Da noi... a ruota libera.

Tale e Quale Show

In 2021 they won the 11th edition of Tale e Quale Show, the music impressions program. In the same year they wrote and sang the theme song of Ve ne siete mai accorti?, the program of the Roman comedian Maurizio Battista.

Radio

On Rai Radio 2 they hosted 3 per 2 and Radio2 Happy Family, also broadcast simultaneously on Rai 2. Radio is perhaps the place where their way of working, made of songs, jokes and characters taking turns, finds its most natural form.

Gemelli di Guidonia in the theater, from 2006 to Gemetflix

Gemetflix is the latest chapter of a theatrical path that for Gemelli di Guidonia begins in 2006 and runs through variety, the tour with Fiorello and their own shows.

With Montesano

Enrico Montesano's È permesso? is the first school: being on stage next to a star performer, keeping up the rhythm of a long evening, singing and acting in the same show. Anyone who sees the trio in the theater today recognizes that revue approach.

On tour with Fiorello

The 2015 and 2016 theater tour together with Fiorello brings the three brothers to the theater in front of an audience that knew them from television. It is the passage from television sidekick to a regular presence on stage.

Disco-patia

In 2018 they toured Italy with Disco-patia... dica 33 giri, a show that in its title already mixes wordplay and music, with a joking nod to the language of the doctor.

Gemetflix

With Gemetflix the target changes: no longer the disco or the song, but the way television is watched today. The title merges their name with that of a platform, and the stage becomes their personal channel.

Teatro Ghione, the hall on Via delle Fornaci

Teatro Ghione is a hall of about 500 seats that the actress Ileana Ghione bought and refitted on December 9, 1980, giving it her own name.

The founder

Ileana Ghione was born in Cortemilia in 1931. A student of Sergio Tofano at the Accademia d'arte drammatica in the 1950s, she was one of the faces of TV dramas, from Jane Eyre to I Buddenbrook, from David Copperfield to Madame Curie. With the theater on Via delle Fornaci she became her own entrepreneur and ran it for 25 years.

The repertoire

Ghione is tied to a tradition of classical repertoire, with Wilde, Pirandello, Shakespeare and Goldoni, but the program has long hosted concerts, comedy and variety. The 2026 and 2027 season itself offers, among others, Immanuel Casto and Francesca Reggiani with Titoli di testa.

An end on stage

Ileana Ghione died on December 3, 2005, after falling ill on the stage of her theater while performing Euripides' Hecuba. The funeral wake was set up in the hall that bore her name.

Services

The tourism portal of Roma Capitale lists the theater as accessible to people with disabilities and notes a dog sitting service. Ghione's website has a section dedicated to accessibility and accessible shows. For information: 06 6372294, info@teatroghione.it.

Around Teatro Ghione

Teatro Ghione is located between the Vatican and the Janiculum, in an area that is very crowded by day and surprisingly quiet in the late afternoon and evening.

St. Peter's Square

St. Peter's Square is a few minutes' walk away. Those coming to the Saturday evening performance can cross the lit colonnade before entering the hall. Those choosing Sunday afternoon find it in the light of late winter.

Porta Cavalleggeri

At the start of Via delle Fornaci opens Porta Cavalleggeri, one of the gates of the Leonine Walls, with the coats of arms of the Borgia family commissioned by Pope Alexander VI. It is the simplest reference point for getting oriented when arriving on foot from St. Peter's.

Borgo and Castel Sant'Angelo

Toward the Tiber stretches the Borgo district, with its narrow streets leading to Castel Sant'Angelo. Above the houses runs the Passetto di Borgo, the elevated walkway between the Vatican and the castle.

The Janiculum

Behind the theater rises the Janiculum. Those with a free morning before the afternoon performance can climb to the panoramic terrace and then come down toward Via delle Fornaci.

A weekend between the Vatican and Gemetflix

With two performances on Saturday and two on Sunday, Gemetflix at Teatro Ghione fits easily into a Roman weekend dedicated to the Vatican area, all on foot.

Saturday morning

The Vatican Museums can be reached from the other side of the walls: it's wise to book the visit and check the Saturday hours, then arrive unhurried for the 17:00 or the 20:30 performance.

Sunday

St. Peter's Basilica on Sunday morning is very busy and entry involves security checks: check the hours beforehand. A morning in the basilica and a lunch in the area combine well with the 15:30 performance.

A green break

Those who prefer green can go as far as Villa Doria Pamphilj, beyond the Janiculum, keeping in mind that at the end of February the parks still close early.

How to get to Teatro Ghione for Gemetflix

To reach Teatro Ghione by public transport the simplest solution is the regional train to Roma San Pietro station, on lines FL3 and FL5, a few minutes' walk from Via delle Fornaci.

San Pietro station

The station, opened in 1894 with the line to Viterbo, has a bus stop and a taxi stand: handy for the return, especially after the Saturday evening performance, when service is less frequent.

Bus

Several lines serve St. Peter's and Porta Cavalleggeri. On weekends the schedules differ from weekdays: check the runs on the ATAC route planner before leaving.

Parking

The Teatro Ghione website lists among the nearby options a free open-air parking lot, the San Pietro car park and the Bonifacio garage. On Sunday, with Vatican visitors, the area fills up: better to arrive with time to spare.

Which performance to choose

The four performances of Gemetflix at Teatro Ghione cover different audiences: the choice of time depends on who is coming and how you want to organize the day.

Saturday at 17:00

The Saturday afternoon performance leaves the evening free for dinner in Borgo or Prati. It is the most convenient time for those arriving from out of town who want to head home without rushing.

Saturday at 20:30

The evening performance is the classic theater one. You leave after dark, and the lit colonnade of St. Peter's is a few minutes away: the walk back is part of the evening.

Sunday at 15:30

The first Sunday performance is the best suited to families: lunch in the area, show in the early afternoon, home early for Monday.

Sunday at 18:15

The last performance closes the weekend. For those who live in Rome it is the time that lets you spend the day elsewhere and arrive at Ghione toward evening.

Tickets for Gemetflix at Teatro Ghione

Tickets for Gemetflix at Teatro Ghione cost €34.50 for premium orchestra seats, €31 for standard orchestra seats and €28 in the gallery, according to the theater's official website.

Where to buy them

Online from the show page on the theater's website, which links to the authorized presale circuit. For information on availability the theater answers at 06 6372294 and at info@teatroghione.it.

Choosing your seat

A variety show, with songs and characters, can be enjoyed well from the gallery too, which offers a view of the whole stage. The premium orchestra suits those who want to see the expressions and impressions up close, which count for a lot in the trio's repertoire.

The Carta Cultura

The Teatro Ghione website notes that the hall accepts the Carta Cultura: those who are entitled to it can check the terms at the time of purchase.

Accessibility and practical information

Teatro Ghione is listed as accessible to people with disabilities: those with particular needs do well to call beforehand to arrange entry and seating.

With children

A comic and musical variety show, with afternoon performances on the weekend, lends itself to an evening out as a family. The official presentation does not state a recommended age: for younger children it's wise to ask the theater.

The dog

The dog sitting service noted by the official tourism portal lets you come with your dog: the terms should be asked of the theater.

Where to eat before or after Gemetflix

The area around Teatro Ghione alternates places designed for Vatican visitors with neighborhood trattorias on the residential streets.

On the neighborhood streets

Between Via delle Fornaci, Via Gregorio VII and the slopes of the Janiculum there are pizzerias, trattorias and bars frequented by those who live in the area: the best choice for a lunch before the afternoon performances or for a dinner before the 20:30 one.

After the theater

After the Saturday evening performance it's worth heading to Borgo or toward Prati, where places stay open late. On Sunday evening many restaurants in the neighborhood close earlier: better to book.

A curiosity about Gemetflix by Gemelli di Guidonia at Teatro Ghione, February 27 and 28, 2027

The most obvious curiosity is in the name of the trio, which matches neither of its two elements. Pacifico, Gino and Eduardo Acciarino are not twins: they are three brothers born in Caserta a few years apart, in 1983, 1985 and 1986. And Guidonia is not the birthplace, because their father, an Air Force officer, was serving in Caserta when they were born. The name, then, is a small stage invention, the first of a long series, and it works like their parodies: it takes something recognizable and shifts it sideways. The second curiosity concerns the beginnings. Before becoming Gemelli di Guidonia, in 1999, the three were called Effervescenti Naturali, a name that already contained the wordplay and the self-irony. The third curiosity is in the title of the show. Gemetflix merges the name of the trio with that of a platform, and the subtitle chosen by the theater, Come si cambia, recalls the phrase one says when changing channel, but also the change in the way of watching television. For three artists who grew up between Rai, radio and variety, television is home turf: in our view that is exactly why the parody is credible.

A thing nobody tells you about Gemetflix by Gemelli di Guidonia at Teatro Ghione, February 27 and 28, 2027

Nobody says it, but Gemetflix is a show about television made by people who owe almost everything to television. Gemelli di Guidonia became popular thanks to Edicola Fiore, Quelli che il calcio, Made in Sud and Tale e Quale Show. Bringing to the stage a channel that does not exist, and saying that the most powerful streaming is the live kind, is a way of claiming theater as their origin, from the debut with Montesano in 2006. A second thing concerns the calendar. The four performances are concentrated in a single weekend, and the times are designed for different audiences: the Sunday performance at 15:30 is ideal for families, the Saturday one at 20:30 for those who want a classic evening. Those who decide at the last minute will probably find a seat in the afternoon performances rather than the Saturday evening one. Third thing, a practical one: the running time is not stated in the official presentation. With the 17:00 and the 20:30 performances on the same day, however, the show has to leave time to empty and reopen the hall. That is a useful hint for planning dinner, but not a certain fact. If in doubt, it's wise to ask the theater.

The advice I give you for visiting Gemetflix by Gemelli di Guidonia at Teatro Ghione, February 27 and 28, 2027

My advice is to choose the performance based on who you're with. With children or grandparents, Sunday at 15:30: lunch in the area, show, and home before evening. Among friends, Saturday at 20:30, to finish with a walk to the lit St. Peter's Square, a few minutes from Via delle Fornaci. For the seat, in our view the standard orchestra is the best compromise between price and visibility: in a variety show made of impressions and characters the expressions count, but the view of the whole stage is just as important. Before the show it's worth arriving half an hour early, especially on Sunday, when the Vatican area is full of visitors and finding parking is harder. Those arriving by train at Roma San Pietro avoid the problem entirely. One last suggestion: if you know Gemelli di Guidonia only from TV parodies, take a look at their performances on Tale e Quale Show before going, to recognize the mechanisms the show picks up and turns upside down. Those coming from out of town who want to build a tailor-made Roman weekend around the show can contact Tour Leader Pro, which organizes custom private experiences.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

It is well known that Gemelli di Guidonia were launched by Fiorello. Less often mentioned is that the meeting has a precise date and an almost casual place: on May 30, 2013, according to the trio's official website, the three brothers showed up at the bar of Edicola Fiore, Fiorello's program, and sang I'm yours. The showman took them on at once, and from that moment their presence on the program became regular, up to the joint theater tour of 2015 and 2016. A second fact rarely cited: long before Fiorello, in 2006, the trio had already trodden an important stage with Enrico Montesano, in È permesso?, as singers and as actors. The theatrical career of Gemelli di Guidonia, then, precedes their television fame by seven years. Third fact: in 2021 they wrote and sang the theme song of Ve ne siete mai accorti?, the program of Maurizio Battista, who brings his shows in Rome to Teatro Olimpico, like Se non vinco imparo. In the same year they won the 11th edition of Tale e Quale Show: the theme song and the win mark the year in which the trio went from sidekick to protagonist.

The right photo to take at Gemetflix by Gemelli di Guidonia at Teatro Ghione, February 27 and 28, 2027

The right photo is taken outside the theater, and it changes depending on the performance. Those coming on Sunday afternoon can photograph Porta Cavalleggeri in the light of late February: the gate of the Leonine Walls, with the Borgia coats of arms commissioned by Alexander VI, and the dome of St. Peter's glimpsed behind. Those coming on Saturday evening find the same gate lit by the street lamps, with the air of a theater wing that suits the evening well. The second photo is the colonnade of St. Peter's Square at dusk, when the day's visitors have left and the square empties. The third is the simplest: the facade of Teatro Ghione on Via delle Fornaci with the Gemetflix poster, the three brothers with the remote in hand, a keepsake of a specific weekend. In the hall, no photos or video during the show: the variety game depends on comic timing, and the screen of a phone lit in the dark distracts both those on stage and those watching. There is also an obvious irony in filming with a smartphone a show that claims not to be recorded. At the final applause a shot is usually tolerated.

Some important events that happened here in history

The area of Via delle Fornaci has a history that runs from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Porta Cavalleggeri, at the start of the street, is one of the gates of the Leonine Walls and preserves the Borgia coats of arms placed there at the will of Pope Alexander VI. On April 30, 1849 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 famous, Tommaso Salvini. In 1894 San Pietro station was opened, on the line to Viterbo, which in the 20th century became a set for Italian cinema and from which the railway that enters Vatican City still departs. On December 9, 1980 Ileana Ghione bought the old theater on Via delle Fornaci, refitted it and reopened it under her name. On November 25, 1986 George Bernard Shaw's Candida was staged there, directed by Silverio Blasi. In 2001 the founder was named Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. On December 3, 2005 she died after falling ill on stage, while performing Euripides' Hecuba in her own theater. At the end of February 2027 the same hall hosts a variety show about the television of the present: a great distance from Greek tragedy, but within the same idea of actors' theater.

Who has passed through Gemetflix by Gemelli di Guidonia at Teatro Ghione, February 27 and 28, 2027

The figure who marked this theater is Ileana Ghione: a student of Sergio Tofano, a face of Rai TV dramas from Jane Eyre to Una tragedia americana, from David Copperfield to Madame Curie, performer of Giacosa's Come le foglie alongside Tino Carraro, founder and director of the hall for 25 years. On her stage the classics have passed, from Shaw directed by Silverio Blasi to the Greek tragedies. In the surrounding neighborhood have passed the popes who built and restored the Leonine Walls, the defenders of the Roman Republic of 1849, among them Tommaso Salvini, and the Italian film crews who shot at San Pietro station with Totò, Alberto Sordi and Virna Lisi. Ghione's program brings together drama, music and comedy, from A Beatles Orchestra to stand-up. At the end of February 2027 Pacifico, Gino and Eduardo Acciarino pass through, three brothers from Caserta who debuted in theater with Enrico Montesano, grew up on television alongside Fiorello, joined Nicola Savino during the 2020 Sanremo Festival and won Tale e Quale Show in 2021. In a hall founded by an actress of the television of TV dramas, they bring the parody of platform television.

Who Gemetflix is for

Gemetflix by Gemelli di Guidonia speaks to a broad audience, but some people will get more out of it than others.

For families

The weekend afternoon performances, the language of variety and a theme everyone knows, television and platforms, make the show suitable for parents and children together. Sunday at 15:30 is the most convenient time.

For those who follow the trio on television

The audience that knows Gemelli di Guidonia from Tale e Quale Show, from Edicola Fiore or from Radio2 Happy Family has the chance to see them for a whole show, uncut and without commercials.

For variety lovers

Theatrical variety, with songs, sketches and characters taking turns, is a form with a long tradition in Rome. Those who appreciate its rhythm will find in Gemetflix a version updated to today's languages.

For those who spend too much time in front of screens

The show makes fun of precisely the habit of jumping from one title to another without ever choosing. An afternoon or an evening without a remote, in the hall, is also a small cure.

A late February weekend in Rome

February 27 and 28 fall in a quiet period for Rome, between the end of winter and the arrival of spring.

The weather

The days get longer but the evenings stay cool: a coat and an umbrella are enough. For the Saturday evening performance it has been dark for a while when you enter the hall.

The rest of the weekend

Those arriving in Rome for the weekend can combine the show with the Vatican, Borgo and the Janiculum, all a few steps from the theater, with no need for transport.
