APERTURE STRAORDINARIE
Olympic Theatre: world’s most ancient indoor theatre
Masterpiece and last work by Andrea Palladio, the Olympic theatre was commissioned in February 1580 by the Olympic Academy, a partnership of prominent personalities in Vicenza related to literature, sciences, and arts, of which Palladio himself was a member. The design was inspired by the “ancient” style theatre, in the wake of Vitruvius studies revival during the Renaissance. It was also a self-celebratory work for Vicenza aristocracy, taking inspiration from the same classic ideals supported by the members of the Academy.
