The first rage room in Italy

August 29, 2023April 14, 2015 by WeirdItaly

Camera della Rabbia is a facility in the hills of Forlì full of objects to destroy.

The slogan of Camera della Rabbia, Forli’, is “The only place where you can destroy everything and no-one can blame you“.

The rage room is the first place in Italy where you can release your negative energy. Customers armed with sledgehammers and wearing adequate armor, for a fee (starting from 15 euros for 10 minutes) are free to destroy furniture, bottles in complete safety.

The place is intended to release the stress of a workday. Sometimes some come in two or more to challenge each other to who smashes more stuff. For some people is a new anti-stress formula.
