Teatro Olimpico

Description

After a relaxing walk through the narrow streets of the ancient city of Vicenza, one of the cradles of the Italian Renaissance, we enter the fabulous Teatro Olimpico, the last work by Andrea Palladio. Still in use for concerts and shows today, this unique Renaissance Theater still houses its original stage set noted for its innovative and dramatic use of perspective. We will listen to its fantastic story and learn how the theatre survived two world wars as well as fierce foreign dominations and revolutions.
