The stage is enclosed by a fixed stage in the form of a two-story loggia where audiences can look out and watch the performances.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fabulous painted boxes of the theatre<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bibiena&#039;s ability is demonstrated in the fulfillment of the commitment made with the Timidi: to conceive the theatre, to supervise its works and to personally paint the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interiors of the numerous boxes, decorated in tempera with Arcadian landscapes, which in turn have become tangible evidence of the master&#039;s art. Although the <\/span><b>Bibiena Scientific Theater<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Although it aroused the enthusiasm of his contemporaries, the consensus towards the designer quickly changed radically, so much so that the architect was forced to revise and repeatedly modify the drawings he had made for the fa\u00e7ade. Ultimately, Giuseppe Piermarini&#039;s design was favorably received, oriented toward a language that now favored the austere neoclassical sobriety that was destined to establish itself.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
