An unprecedented tour route takes you through the scenes of the Teatro Olimpico, which was built in February 1580 on behalf of the Accademia Olimpica, a congregation of important Vicenza personalities in the fields of literature, science and art, of which Palladio himself was a member. The project was inspired by the 'ancient' theater model, in the wake of the rediscovery of Vitruvius's studies in the Renaissance, and at the same time served as a self-aggrandizing place for the aristocracy of Vicenza, drawing inspiration from the same classical ideals that it supported by the members of the Academy. Construction began in May 1580, but Palladio did not see completion due to his sudden death. After several and complex events, the Olimpico was completed five years later and solemnly inaugurated on March 3, 1585 with the memorable staging of Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrant. In the video you can take a closer look at the wooden perspectives depicting the streets of Thebes, created by Vincenzo Scamozzi for the opening performance of Oedipus and which have become fixed and unchanging over time.

Palladio built the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, which rivals the Teatro Olimpico in Sabbioneta for the fame of being the first free-standing autonomous theater building to be built in Europe since the end of antiquity.

Here, too, Andrea Palladio is responsible, rightly one of the most beautiful closed, covered theatres...
