The Theater of Marcellus sent on April 22, 2017 (17:44) by Annamaria Pertosa. 85 comments, 1906 views.

at 47mm, 1/160 f/7.1, ISO 100, hand held. Roma, Italy.

L'edificio venne eretto a Campo Marzio, nel luogo destinato alle rappresentazioni teatrali. La costruzione del teatro, si deve a Giulio Cesare che, a prezzo di molte critiche, fece demolire il Tempio della Pietà e altri edifici. Augusto riprese il progetto, procedendo a nuovi espropri per ampliare la superficie. Probabilmente completato già nel 17 a. C. quando venne utilizzato in occasione dei ludi secolari, prese il nome di Marcello, nipote dell'imperatore, destinato alla successione, e morto a Baia nel 27 a. C.. Fu restaurato da Vespasiano e da Alessandro Severo. Ancora in funzione probabilmente nel IV secolo, successivamente fu mutato in fortezza dai nuovi proprietari, i Pierleoni e i Fabi. Nel '500 Baldassarre Peruzzi eresse il palazzo tuttora esistente per conto dei Savelli che due secoli dopo venne acquistato dagli Orsini. La parte inferiore, corrispondente alle strutture romane, fu acquisita negli anni '30 dal Comune di Roma, scavata e restaurata dopo aver proceduto ad un'opera di radicale liberazione dell'area. Il Teatro di Marcello era una grandiosa costruzione dal diametro di 130 m., in cui era realizzato in forma compiuta il teatro di tipo romano: un edificio completo provvisto di una salda unità architettonica, non vincolato da alcuna esigenza topografica o orografica come il teatro greco. La cavea di forma semicircolare era su sostruzioni: muri semianulari e radiali in blocchi di tufo, in opera reticolata e in laterizio, formavano l'intelaiatura sulla quale si appoggiavano le gradinate in marmo bianco. La cavea, non scavata, era suddivisa radialmente in sei zone, con una capienza di circa 15.000 posti. arricchiti da figurine. All'esterno era concluso dalla facciata ricurva in travertino a triplice ordine di cui si conservano per la maggior parte i due inferiori ad arcate su pilastri con semicolonne doriche e ioniche, mentre il superiore era a parete piena con paraste corinzie. Il teatro era coperto con velario. E' noto dalle fonti che vi erano 36 vasi bronzei per facilitare l'acustica. Critiche, consigli e commenti sempre super graditi. Grazie.

Very beautiful, reminiscent of a Rome of 60 years without traffic and with a chance 'to enjoy the splendid monuments (which now was it?).
