History and description Teatro delle Muse
The Teatro delle Muse was designed and built in 1826 by the architect Pietro Ghinelli in neo-classicist style. It served as a theater until World War II. After a fire had destroyed the roof and a large part of the interior, it remained closed for almost 50 years. After a long period of restoration by the architects Danilo Guerri and Paola Salmoni, it reopened in 2002.
Of the original building, only the façade, with six columns, remains. The pediment is decorated with high-reliefs depicting Apollo and the seven muses.
The interior has been completely renovated and the original structure of the interior has also been completely changed. There are more than one thousand seats and the stage covers an area of almost 400 square meters.
