LUOGHI / TEATRO BIBIENA

Built between 1767 and 1769, Teatro Bibiena was designed by Antonio Galli Bibiena from Parma and commissioned by the rector of Accademia dei Timidi, Count Carlo Ottavio di Colloredo, its original main aim was of hosting scientific meetings, but it was also open to performances and concerts.
The theater, no longer tiered like the Renaissance ones, has a bell-shaped plan and is arranged on several tiers of boxes, according to the kind of structure invented in the seventeenth century.
The theater, no longer tiered like the Renaissance ones, has a bell-shaped plan and is arranged on several tiers of boxes according to the kind of structure invented in the seventeenth century. With prodigious vivacity, the architect Bibiena fulfilled the obligation he had contracted with Accademia dei Timidi in just two years in 1767: he designed the theater, directed its works and, finally, with his skill as a painter as well as an architect, he personally frescoed the interiors of the numerous boxes, a precious document of the artistic activity of the distinguished master.
The façade was instead built by Giuseppe Piermarini from whom the hall on the first floor of the theater takes its name. Just over a month after the inauguration on January 16, 1770, the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who arrived in Mantua just fourteen for his first Italian tour, held a memorable concert there with his father Leopold.
