The Amazing Teatro Olimpico p32

Entrance to the Teatro Olimpico

(just in case it wasn't labeled obvious enough)


Striking a Theatrical Pose

The theatre was so spectacular. You would have never guessed something so amazing would have been through this courtyard. I only wish we could have seen a production here. This was definately one of my favorite things in Italy. I didn't take pictures because they weren't allowed inside. Besides, there is no way to represent the place in a picture. You just have to go and see it for yourself.


Another of the Teatro Olimpico

I didn't mention it before, but the theatre was designed by Paladio, the Architect that designed some of the buildings on that island near Venice. He also designed the Rotondo that montecello is designed after. His work on the teatro jus concreted him in the spot of my favorite architect.
