The Capitol disco was built in 1984. It could hold up to 2,000 people. The big names of the entertainment world of the time came, such as Riccardo Cocciante, Enrico Ruggeri, Fiorella Mannoia, Beppe Grillo.
On Saturday, Sunday and Monday people danced mostly to liscio (Italian ballroom). Then the music changed, and the name too. It became Toboga and then Madrugada. 1992 is the year of its closure, because of the construction of a swimming pool that was never finished.
