Roman Theatre
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. |
