About
Under its unique dome, a domed disco abandoned since the '70s now attracts artists and explorers.
The Woodpecker disco used to be the hottest spot in town. In 1952, in the seaside resort of Milano Marittima, it was at the top of the nightclub game, an intimate and exclusive spot that attracted people from all over the country to hear the top-notch orchestra and be wowed by world-class service. But as the area grew, the residents of neighboring houses were getting a little tired of having the nightlife so close by, and as a result, they ousted The Woodpecker to a new spot in the marshlands on the outskirts of town. The club would need a new building, and as a result, architects Filippo Monti and Giorgetto Giugiaro were brought in to design the space.
