Alcuni cittadini benestanti di Campi si unirono per fondare l'Accademia dei Perseveranti, una società avente come scopo la costruzione del teatro e di cui furono vendute rapidamente le azioni. La costruzione procedette rapida e il teatro, dedicato al massimo poeta italiano, venne inaugurato nel 1873. Il teatro si conservò nelle sue forme originali fino al 1938, quando fu sottoposto ad alcune modifiche atte a permetterne l'uso anche come sala cinematografica. Dopo un periodo di chiusura fu acquistato dall'amministrazione comunale per essere restaurato. Fu elaborato un progetto di ripristino molto moderno e terminati i lavori nel 2007. Nel maggio 2014 il teatro è stato intitolato all'attore campigiano Carlo Monni ed ha assunto il nome di teatrodante Carlo Monni.

When you leave to see the city, you leave your key up front and it gives an added sense of security since you know you won't lose it in the Florence crowds. Also the free breakfast exceeded my expectations-- huge selection and delicious! Nothing like being greeted by a cute dog as well!

I really like this hostel!…read more Location: it's right next to the train station and a short walking distance to the piazzas, the Domo, the leather market, and everything. Crowd: somehow there were a lot of Asians that booked this hostel. I was in a room of all Asian girls, I'm Asian myself and maybe they wanted to put us all together? Hostel: the rooms are freaking huge! It's old though but huge! The place is sooo big. They have courtyards and garden areas, big cafeteria that you can order food. The breakfast is the best breakfast ever for any hostel!! I'm not talking about bread, cereal, and a muffin. I'm talking about a selection of breads, sweets, real food (rice Wth seafood, tomato rice, meatballs with sauce, little hot dogs with veggies, eggs, eggs with bacon, a killer drink machine that makes the best cappuccino!) the breakfast was amazing and they did not cheap out. It was buffet style as well. The bathrooms were plentiful with showers. There's a 2am curfew and a 11pm quiet time. So if you wanna party go somewhere else, because the receptionist guy will give you crap. And tell you to shut up. The wifi is everywhere! And it's pretty good. Hey also have computers you could use as well. And they sell food and water for cheap. They don't try to over charge. A big water bottle was less then 1 euro! Other places sell that for 3 euros. Price was really good for hostel, under 30 euros. This was probably the best hostel I stayed at! Totally recommend if you are in Florence!
