Indagini Live 2027 at Brancaccio: date, time and prices

Indagini Live 2027, Storie intrecciate, is staged at Teatro Brancaccio on Monday, April 19, 2027 at 21:00, with tickets from €34.50 to €46 plus fees. It is the Rome date of the new series of theater evenings that Stefano Nazzi has been taking to Italy's main theaters since February 2027.

One date, on a Monday

Monday is the day off for many Rome theaters, and Brancaccio often uses it for special-event nights: one date, a large hall, an audience that comes specifically. In previous seasons Indagini Live racked up many sold-out shows: with a single Rome performance, buying early is the prudent choice.

Prices by section

On the official network Poltronissima A costs €46, Poltronissima B €42.50, and Poltrona A and Poltrona B €40.20. In the first balcony sections A and B cost €37.90, and section C with the restricted-view boxes €34.50. In the second balcony sections A and B cost €34.50. Poltronissima Gold is currently shown as unavailable. Prices include the presale fee, and service fees are added.

Who organizes it

The organizer and producer is Show Bees, the Milan company that has handled Nazzi's theater tours since the first Indagini Live. The artistic team is confirmed: Marco Iacomelli directs, Massimiliano Perticari is associate director and Stefano Tumiati writes the music.

The address

Teatro Brancaccio, Via Merulana 244, 00185 Rome, on the stretch of Via Merulana between Santa Maria Maggiore and San Giovanni in Laterano.

What Indagini Live is: the podcast that became theater

Indagini Live is the stage show born from the podcast Indagini, the true-crime series Stefano Nazzi has written and hosted for Il Post since 2021 and which has become one of the most listened-to podcasts in Italy. On stage Nazzi does what he does in your headphones: he reconstructs a case through testimony, court documents and the way the media covered it.

Three years, more than 80 performances

According to the Teatro Brancaccio presentation, in three years Nazzi has racked up more than 80 performances in theaters and summer arenas, in front of more than 130,000 spectators, with a long list of sold-out nights. The success, which has grown year after year, confirms the bond of trust between the journalist and his audience of readers and listeners.

The cases of past editions

Each stage edition has been devoted to a major Italian crime case: the Circeo murder in 2024, the Monster of Florence in 2025 and the kidnapping of Cristina Mazzotti in 2026. These are cases that marked the country, told in the spare style that made the podcast recognizable.

Storie intrecciate

The 2027 edition is titled Storie intrecciate ("intertwined stories"). The official presentation does not say which cases will be covered. The title, after three editions each devoted to a single case, suggests a story that connects several. If you want to arrive prepared, you have no way of doing so on the individual cases: this time, the surprise is part of the evening.

The theme tune

A detail podcast listeners recognize right away: Nazzi's entrance on stage is preceded by the Indagini theme, the now iconic intro that opens every episode. It's the moment the hall understands that the story is about to begin.

Who Stefano Nazzi is: a life in crime reporting

Stefano Nazzi is a journalist born in Rome on October 22, 1961 who grew professionally in Milan, where he has always lived. He became a professional journalist in March 1991 and for more than 20 years has covered crime news, following the best-known and most high-profile cases but also lesser-known stories.

Early years at magazines

Nazzi started at the monthly Class and the weekly MF Milano Finanza, then wrote about travel for Bell'Europa and moved on to Mondadori's magazines. A background far from crime reporting, which perhaps explains the care for writing that marks his stories.

Donna and Gente

In 2002 he became deputy editor of the weekly Donna, edited by Daria Bignardi, and three years later he moved to the newsroom of Gente, where he began covering crime. He stayed at Gente for more than 18 years, the last period as deputy editor.

Il Post and the Indagini podcast

In July 2021 Nazzi moved to Il Post, where he now covers news and current affairs. That is where Indagini was born, the podcast created with Francesco Costa and Luca Sofri, which comes out on the first day of every month with a new case. The stated aim is to tell the facts in a calm and measured tone, without sensationalism and without morbid curiosity, also showing how the media handled them. In a short time the podcast became a phenomenon, often at the top of the charts.

Awards and Altre indagini

At the 2023 Italian Podcast Awards Indagini won two prizes: best podcast and best true crime podcast. The same year saw the launch of Altre indagini, a spin-off reserved for Il Post subscribers.

Stefano Nazzi on television and in bookstores

Since 2023 Stefano Nazzi has also been a television face: he hosted the documentary series Delitti in famiglia on Rai 2, renewed for a second season in October 2024, and in summer 2025 he debuted in prime time on Rai 3 with Il caso, produced by Ballandi.

Sky and Rai

In 2025 Nazzi took part in Belve Crime on Rai 2. In 2026 he stars on Sky in Nazzi racconta, a program in which he reconstructs some of the most shocking cases in recent Italian crime news, reflecting on the weight of collective dynamics, shared responsibility and social pressure. In September 2025 he also introduced the Champions League match Ajax vs Inter on Prime Video, telling the story of the final the Nerazzurri lost to PSG.

The books

His first book, Kronaka. Viaggio nel cuore oscuro del Nord, published by Laterza in 2011, collects eight stories of crimes committed in northern Italy. For Mondadori he then published Il volto del male, in 2023, a collection of 10 cases, Canti di guerra. Conflitti, vendette, amori nella Milano degli anni Settanta, about the gangs of Renato Vallanzasca, Francis Turatello and Angelo Epaminonda, and Predatori. I serial killer che hanno segnato l'America, in 2025. The Brancaccio presentation announces a new book, Profeti del buio.

A voice in a series

In 2025 Nazzi lent his voice to an episode of the second season of the series Pesci piccoli. And on Substack he edits Impronte, a weekly newsletter in which he keeps sharing analysis and questions about crime cases.

A curious fact about Stefano Nazzi, Indagini Live 2027 at Teatro Brancaccio, April 19, 2027

The simplest curious fact is about his birth. The journalist many listeners associate with Milan, where he has always lived and where he covered crime in the north, was born in Rome, on October 22, 1961. The April 19 evening at Brancaccio is therefore, in a sense, a return to his hometown: with a story that took shape in Milan and arrives in one of the largest halls in the capital.

The second curious fact concerns his career path. Before crime reporting, Nazzi wrote about finance for Class and Milano Finanza and about travel for Bell'Europa. The reporter who today reconstructs crimes with the precision of a court clerk started out writing about markets and tourist destinations. It's an unusual trajectory, and it helps explain his style: crime told with the calm of someone writing a feature, not with the urgency of someone chasing a scoop.

The third curious fact is about the stage. Indagini Live opens with the podcast's theme: for people who listen to Indagini on headphones, on the metro or in the car, hearing those notes in a 2,000-seat hall is a strange and familiar experience at the same time. A private sound that becomes collective.

Finally, a calendar curiosity: two nights later, on April 21, L'arte della truffa with Biagio Izzo is staged on the same stage. From crime stories to a comedy about con men, in 48 hours.

Teatro Brancaccio: the hall and its layout

Teatro Brancaccio, at Via Merulana 244, has had its current layout since 1937: two foyers, a large orchestra and two raised levels, the first and second balcony, for about 2,000 seats at the time. It is one of the largest halls in Rome, and one of the best suited to a spoken-word evening that has to reach the very last row.

Orchestra and balconies

The orchestra is divided into the Poltronissima and Poltrona sections, each in bands A and B. Above are the first balcony, with sections A, B and C, and the second balcony. For Indagini Live prices cover all sections, with the boxes in section C flagged as restricted view.

Where to sit for a story

For a storytelling show what matters most is listening, and seeing the narrator matters less than in a comedy. In our view Poltrona A is the best compromise between price and closeness. The first balcony, facing the stage, gives an excellent overall view and costs less. If you want to see Nazzi's expression as he tells the story, choose Poltronissima.

The Brancaccio complex

Brancaccio is the main hall of a larger complex: Brancaccino, a theater of about 100 seats, a training area and a terrace over Via Merulana. The theater is home to the production center Viola Produzioni and hosts academies of acting, directing, musical theater and dance.

Something nobody tells you about Stefano Nazzi, Indagini Live 2027 at Teatro Brancaccio, April 19, 2027

What you don't read in the presentations is that Indagini Live, even though it's in a theater, remains a piece of journalism. It is not fiction with actors, not an acted reconstruction: it's Stefano Nazzi on stage, with music by Stefano Tumiati and direction that supports the rhythm of the story. If you expect a play you'll find something different, and in our view more interesting: the podcast taking physical form, with the audience listening in silence as if in front of a radio.

The second thing concerns the subject. The Indagini cases are true stories of violence and death, told with restraint but without holding back. The evening is not designed for children, and if you bring a teenager you should know that it will be about murders, trials and real victims.

The third concerns the theater's rules. Brancaccio asks you to arrive early, does not allow entry once the show has started, forbids photos and filming during the show and does not allow umbrellas, bottles over half a liter or glass containers in the hall. In a story that relies on concentration, arriving late means missing the beginning, the part where the case is set up.

How to get to Teatro Brancaccio for Stefano Nazzi

Teatro Brancaccio is at Via Merulana 244, less than a kilometer from Termini station and a short walk from the Vittorio Emanuele stop of Metro A.

By metro

The theater gives two options. Metro A, Vittorio Emanuele stop, is the closest: you come out on Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II and reach Via Merulana in a few minutes on foot. Metro B and B1, Cavour stop, are the alternative if you are coming from the Monti or Colosseum side.

By bus

The theater lists three stops. On Via Merulana, at the Merulana/Brancaccio and Merulana/Mecenate stops, lines 16, 75, 714, 717 and C3 pass. At the Labicana/Merulana stop lines 3, 53, 75, 85, 87, 186, 571, 810, C3 and the N10 night bus pass, useful for getting home after 23:00.

By taxi

The theater lists the nearest taxi stands: Largo Brancaccio, Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II at number 113, Via Principe Amedeo at 138, Via Giolitti at 6 and Via Venosta.

By car

The theater lists no partner parking, and in the evening Esquilino is a neighborhood where parking is hard. If you are coming from outside Rome, you're better off leaving the car near a metro station and continuing to Vittorio Emanuele or Cavour.

My tip for Stefano Nazzi, Indagini Live 2027 at Teatro Brancaccio, April 19, 2027

My first tip is to buy your ticket as soon as possible. Indagini Live has a loyal audience and a single Rome date, and Monday night doesn't lower demand: people who have listened to the podcast for years look forward to the live evening like an appointment.

The second is to choose your seat with listening in mind. In a storytelling show you don't need the front row: you need a central seat, facing the stage, where the voice reaches you clearly. In our view Poltrona A or the central first balcony give the best value for money. The restricted-view boxes in section C are best avoided if you also want to see the images or stage lighting.

The third is to arrive in good time. The hall is large, the audience goes in all at once, and the theater does not allow entry once the show has started. Arriving around 20:30 lets you leave your coat at the cloakroom, find your seat and wait for the theme tune without rushing.

The fourth is not to relisten to past episodes that evening: Storie intrecciate is a new story, and it's worth hearing without expectations about the cases.

Another well-known fact, yet one rarely mentioned

It's well known that Indagini is one of the most listened-to podcasts in Italy. Less often remembered is that it wasn't Nazzi's idea alone. The format was created by Francesco Costa and Luca Sofri, who entrusted the writing and the voice to Nazzi, newly arrived in the newsroom in 2021 after 18 years at Gente. The combination of a precise editorial idea and a reporter with decades of experience did the rest.

The idea was clear: to tell crime cases without sensationalism and without morbid curiosity, in a calm tone, also showing how the press and television had handled them at the time. Put simply, a true-crime podcast that is also a reflection on crime journalism. Two prizes at the 2023 Italian Podcast Awards, best podcast and best true crime podcast, confirmed that this is exactly what the audience was looking for.

The second little-mentioned fact is regularity. Indagini comes out on the first day of every month, and this schedule, rare among Italian podcasts, has created a habit: listeners know when to expect it. The theater evenings follow a similar logic, a new case every year, and the loyalty of the audience in the hall comes from there.

Tickets for Stefano Nazzi at Brancaccio: prices and information

Tickets for Indagini Live 2027 at Teatro Brancaccio cost from €34.50 to €46, presale fee included and service fees excluded, and are sold on the theater's official website, at the box office on Via Merulana and on the presale network authorized by the organizers.

Choosing a price level

The difference between Poltronissima A, at €46, and the second balcony, at €34.50, is just over €11. For a spoken show the difference in experience between sections is smaller than at a musical or a concert: if you need to save, you can choose the balcony without giving up much.

Buying safely

My advice is to buy only on the official channels listed by the theater and the organizer. Tickets resold by third parties on unauthorized platforms may not be valid, and in case of cancellation refunds follow only the organizer's procedures.

Fees

The network's service fees are not refundable, and the organizer may decide not to refund the presale fee in case of cancellation: these are standard conditions, worth knowing before you pay.

The right photo to take at Stefano Nazzi, Indagini Live 2027 at Teatro Brancaccio, April 19, 2027

The right photo is taken on Via Merulana, from the opposite sidewalk, with the lit facade of Brancaccio and the Indagini Live poster at the entrance. It's the image of a theater that has been part of neighborhood life since 1916, and that over the years has hosted variety, opera, musicals, great comedy and today also crime storytelling.

Inside, during the show, the theater's rules forbid photos and filming, with or without flash, even with a phone. On an evening built on silence and listening the ban has one more reason: a light switched on in the orchestra can be seen from the whole hall. Before the start, from the orchestra or the balcony, a shot of the hall is worth taking, with the two balconies full and the stage still in half-light, waiting for the theme tune.

The third photo is the one after: Via Merulana at night, with the view running toward the lit Santa Maria Maggiore, is one of the most beautiful sights in Esquilino. After two hours of dark stories, it's also the best way to come back to the city.

Around Brancaccio: Esquilino, Monti and Via Merulana

Teatro Brancaccio is on Via Merulana, between the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Colosseum and the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano.

The two basilicas

Via Merulana runs between two of Rome's major basilicas: on one side Santa Maria Maggiore, on the other St. John Lateran. The theater stands on the stretch between them: from one end of the street to the other is a walk of about 20 minutes.

Palazzo Merulana and the Auditorium of Maecenas

On the same street are Palazzo Merulana, with its art collection, and a little further on the Auditorium of Maecenas. The theater's name recalls Palazzo Brancaccio, against whose garden the hall was built.

Piazza Vittorio and Monti

To the north is Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II with the Alchemical Door. To the west you go down into the Monti district, with trattorias, osterias and wine bars.

Some important events that happened here in history

The history of Teatro Brancaccio begins in January 1916, when the hall opened under the name Teatro Morgana. It was built against the embankment of the gardens of the Field Brancaccio noble palace, whose name comes from Isabella Field, married to Prince Brancaccio: the link with Palazzo Brancaccio is physical even before it is a matter of name.

After several renovations, in 1937 the hall opened in its current layout, with two foyers, a large orchestra and two balconies for about 2,000 seats at the time, and took the name Teatro Brancaccio. Since then it has gone through every season of Roman entertainment.

From 1985 to 2000 the hall was home to the Fondazione dell'Opera di Roma. Then the City entrusted the direction to Gigi Proietti, until 2007, followed by Maurizio Costanzo until 2010 and Stage Entertainment Italia until 2012. Since September 2012 the artistic director has been Alessandro Longobardi, and the theater has become a cultural hub with Brancaccino, the academies and, since 2014, Spazio Impero.

Along this path Brancaccio has learned to welcome every form of performance: opera, musicals, comedy, song and, in recent years, also spoken-word evenings, podcasts brought to the stage, journalists telling stories. Indagini Live is one of the titles that best represent this latest season.

Who has passed through Stefano Nazzi, Indagini Live 2027 at Teatro Brancaccio, April 19, 2027

Some of the biggest names of Italian and international entertainment have crossed the Brancaccio stage. The theater itself recalls a few: Totò, Anna Magnani, Aldo Fabrizi and Gigi Proietti among the actors, Fabrizio De André, Louis Armstrong and Jimi Hendrix among the musicians. Proietti, in particular, was not just an actor passing through: after 2000 he ran the theater on behalf of the City of Rome, until 2007.

After him, until 2010, management went to Maurizio Costanzo, a journalist and showman who made the spoken word the center of his television. There is a curious continuity between that season and Nazzi's evening: another journalist, another form of storytelling, the same stage.

Important names in Italian journalism run through Stefano Nazzi's career: Daria Bignardi, who edited Donna when Nazzi was its deputy editor, and Francesco Costa and Luca Sofri, who created the Indagini podcast with him at Il Post. The show's team includes Marco Iacomelli, Massimiliano Perticari and Stefano Tumiati. On April 19, at Brancaccio, Nazzi and his Storie intrecciate arrive, in front of an audience that in three years has become a community.

How to plan the evening of April 19

Monday, April 19, 2027 is a mid-spring weeknight: if you work in the city, leave the office with some margin, because traffic toward Esquilino at dinner time is heavy and the theater does not let you in once the show has started.

Before the show

If you arrive early you can take a walk along Via Merulana to Santa Maria Maggiore, or stop in Piazza Vittorio. Around 20:30 it's best to be at the theater: the cloakroom and entrance move more smoothly in the first half hour after opening.

After the show

At the exit Metro A is still running, but for the trip home after 23:00 check the time of the last train. Alternatively, the N10 night bus stops at Labicana/Merulana, and the taxi stands in Largo Brancaccio and Piazza Vittorio are a few steps away.

If you are coming from outside Rome

Brancaccio is less than a kilometer from Termini station: if you arrive by train you can walk there in a quarter of an hour, or take Metro A one stop to Vittorio Emanuele.

Where to eat near Teatro Brancaccio

Brancaccio is between Esquilino and Monti, two areas with a wide choice of trattorias, pizzerias, osterias and international cuisines.

Before the show

With a 21:00 start, dinner beforehand is possible: if you book for 19:15 or 19:30 you have time to eat at leisure and walk to the theater. Around Piazza Vittorio and in the streets toward Monti the choice is wide, from Roman trattorias to the cuisines of many countries.

After the show

On Monday night Esquilino and Monti are quieter than at the weekend: finding a table after 23:00 is easier, even though many kitchens close early. A glass at a wine bar in Monti is the simplest way to talk over the evening.

Accessibility and practical information

For accessibility needs, contact the Teatro Brancaccio box office, using the contacts published on the official website: it's best to state your needs when you buy.

The orchestra

The orchestra is the most comfortable section if you have mobility difficulties. The balconies are not served by elevators.

Age

The show tells real crime cases: the organizer publishes no age limits, but in our view it's an evening for adults and for teenagers used to the genre.

Rome in mid-April

Mid-April is one of the busiest times of the year in Rome, between spring tourists and holiday weekends. Two days after the show, April 21, is the Natale di Roma, the city's birthday.

My final tip on Stefano Nazzi at Teatro Brancaccio

My advice is to take the April 19 evening for what it is: a podcast you listen to together with 2,000 other people. If you know Indagini you'll find the same voice, the same rigor, the same theme tune. If you don't, you'll discover why so many Italians wait for the first of the month. In our view it's best to buy right away, choose a central seat between the orchestra and the first balcony, arrive half an hour early and leave at leisure along Via Merulana, toward the lit Santa Maria Maggiore. A Monday night in April could hardly find a better use.
