TEATRO OLIMPICO - VICENZA (3)

And this is the stage of the theatre.
This onstage scenery, designed by Vincenzo Scamozzi, to give the appearance of long streets receding to a distant horizon, was installed in 1585 for the first performance held in the theatre, and is the oldest surviving stage set still in existence.
Thanks a lot for your views, comments and fav's on yesterday's picture.

1585! It's amazing that things that seem old in the U.S. are pretty new in Europe. Great shot.
