Teatro
Romano
Built up in I century A. D., it was covered by soil and buildings
during next ages.
Local writers, until 800's, ascribed the still visible rests
to an old thermal building; in 1891, a design by Baldassarre Peruzzi was discovered,
that surveied an approximate plan and allowed its discovering and identification.
Other
researches were started in 1938, but immediately stopped because of the war; the
systematic restoration started in 1954 and today, together with the Archeological
Museum, the Roman Theatre is one of the most interesting cultural spots of the
town, and also seat of various dancing shows during Festival of Two Worlds. |
