Summary
The Roman theatre of Verona was built around the end of the I century B.C. Its visible remains today include the stage, the orchestra, the auditorium and some galleries on two subsequent levels together with a top corridor.
History of research
The area of the Roman theatre was abandoned in ancient times and it was then occupied by various civil and religious buildings. The theatre was rediscovered between the XVIII and the XIX century by A. Monga, who carried out the first archaeological investigations by demolishing some of the buildings which had been built on top of it and by partially excavating the area. In 1904 the area was bought by the Municipality of Verona and, until 1914, the remaining buildings were demolished, the “cavea” was emptied and it was thus possible to carry out some partial reconstruction of the structures.
