Naples – Teatro San Carlo
History: On the night of February 13th 1816, a fire destroyed a large part San Carlo theatre in less than an hour. The only parts of the building to survive the fire were the external masonry walls. The restoration was carried on in only nine months, was directed by Antonio Niccolini who re-made, in its main features, the 1812 Hall. The Tuscan architect, in fact, still keeps the horseshoe shape of the boxes and the proscenium configuration, just adding the wonderful clock with the low-relief of the "Time and the Hours" that we can still admire. The centre of the ceiling was decorated with a painting by Antonio, Giuseppe and Giovanni Cammarano, Apollo introducing the greatest poets in the world to Minerva. The artists were also responsible for the stage curtain, which was later replaced by the painting Parnassus by Giuseppe Mancinelli and Salvatore Fergola (1854). The restoration of San Carlo Theatre was completed by the side facade made on drawings by the architects Francesco Gavaudan and Pietro Gesuè after the demolition of Palazzo Vecchio between (1838 -1842). As official architect of the royal theatres, Niccolini will also coordinate the next works of maintenance and restoration. Among these activities we remember the modernization of 1844 made with his son Fausto and Francesco Maria Del Giudice. The foyer we can see nowadays, in the eastern wing of the Royal Palace, was buildt in 1937 upon a design of Michele Platanìa. It was completely destroyed in 1943 by a bomb and rebuilt immediately after the war.
