FELTRE (BL) - Teatro de la sena

FELTRE

The Teatro de la sena" is located on the first floor of the Palazzo della Ragione, a fifteenth-century building rebuilt after its destruction in 1510 by the troops of Maximilian of Habsburg and characterized by its Palladian loggia. The hall, initially used for meetings of the Great Council, was converted into a public theater with the construction of a Teatro Sociale. Many have graced the Feltre stage, including Carlo Goldoni, one of the fathers of modern comedy, who was in Feltre between 1729 and 1730 as assistant chancellor and who, as he recounts in his memoirs, discovered his passion for the performing arts there.

On July 26, 1769, lightning struck the theater during a performance, causing dozens of injuries and structural damage. In 1802, the Venetian architect Gianantonio Selva, who had already won the competition to design the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, was commissioned to radically renovate the space. Thus was born the theater we admire today: a jewel that welcomes visitors with enchantment. This is also due to the refined decorations and the precious curtain, recently restored and visible after more than forty years. Both were created by Tranquillo Orsi, who also designed the decorations of the Fenice in 1837. Today, the Teatro de la Sena offers visitors the unique opportunity to enter the lost Fenice.
