Скачать или смотреть The Majestic Teatro Politeama Garibaldi, Captured From Above

Originally built in 1861 in the gardens of Palazzo Ajutamicristo, Teatro Garibaldi was erected at the behest of the musician and composer Pietro Cutrera as an ephemeral, rather provisional construction. The proportions of the layout conform to the architectural "rule" for "Italian-style theatres". Newspapers of the period report that Garibaldi attended Romeo and Juliet there in 1862, declaring his famous words "O Roma, o morte" from box no. 10. After being managed by a succession of different families, alternating with periods of abandon and decline (including even hosting boxing matches), the theatre was acquired by the City of Palermo in 1983 and reopened as an active theatre in 1996 with Hamlet directed by Carlo Cecchi.
