I Finally Saw the Italian Renaissance Theatres: (& their Silent Ghost Audiences).

“I Finally Saw the Italian Renaissance Theatres (and their Silent Ghost Audiences),” with photos by Tina Menta, examines the living presence that inhabits many such theatres, frequently through statues and paintings of historical and mythical figures, but also in the very architecture of the theatre buildings. This study analyzes the Silent Ghost Audience in three iconic Italian Renaissance theatres: Teatri All’Antica at Sabbioneta, Farnese at Parma, and Olimpico at Vicenza. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
