Teatro Sociale
The Theatre stands on the street facing Porta Vicenza, in Via Indipendenza. Designed by Giacomo Bauto in 1817, it was completed by Francesco Cibele, while the elegant neoclassical façade is attributed to Giuseppe Jappelli, author of the famous Caffè Pedrocchi in Padua. The theatre is structured with an atrium, a semicircular hall with a stage, three tiers of boxes, and a former smoking room. The splendid frescoes in the hall depict flowers, cupids and allegorical images and were created by Francesco Bagnara, a set designer and painter, who is also credited with decorating the Teatro La Fenice in Venice.
