Description
This theatre was built in 1638 by the archtect A. Levanti in the Archginnasio, the former University site. It is said that it was reduced to rubble by bombing in 1944, and was minutely rebuilt so as to resume its original beauty. It is infact very beautiful, and upon entering it seems as if time is standing still...built entirely out of wood, the Doctor's cathedral still retains the two 'Scorticati' designed by Ercole Leilli, but scuplted by S. Giannaotti, who also made the other statues.
