From the second half of the eighteenth century and throughout the nineteenth century, every municipality in the Marche region, even the demographically small ones, began to plan the construction of its own theater building.
This need, in addition to certainly meeting a cultural expectation, responded to a more complex process of social aggregation. The theaters are many and very beautiful. I think it's worth introducing them to you in my blog, one at a time, choosing truly at random.
I will start with the Feronia Theater in San Severino Marche. Designed by the great architect Ireneo Aleandri, designer of the Sferisterio of Macerata (1823) and of Villa Caterina in Porto San Giorgio (1825) commissioned by Prince Gerolamo Bonaparte, the Feronia is a 442-seat theater in neoclassical style, with pictorial decorations by Filippo Bibiena and Raffaele Fogliardi. It has excellent acoustics and is therefore suitable for concert as well as prose seasons. The peculiarity of this Theater is that the curtain is still the original one from the XNUMXth century. It is located in the historic center, next to the magnificent elliptical square of the city (Piazza del Popolo).
