Tour of Vicenza Italy and Teatro Olimpico

Teatro Olimpico

Designed in 1580 by Andrea Palladio for the Accademia Olimpica, Teatro Olimpico was Palladio's last work, and the first single-standing roofed theatre building in modern history. It is also the first indoor theater in the world.  The theater is directly across from the museum (Palazzo Chiericati) which has a tribute to Giambatista Tiepolo and other famous renaissance painters.  Your eye will be quickly caught by the stage, at the center of which is a large arch capped by the emblem of the town.  The main body of the stage represents a square, while behind it are the five streets of Tebe, created by Scamozzi who went beyond Palladio's original intentions.  Palladio however provided Teatro Olimpico with a real sense of space and depth.  The center seat (usually reserved for nobles) offers an optical illusion as the street appears to go off into the distance quite a way.
