Teatro Serpente Aureo

The Theatre was originally located in the Council Chamber of the Town Hall and still today it has not got a personal façade, his entrance being under the main arcade of the Town Hall. The current structure was built in 1820 on the design by Pietro Maggi and underwent renewal in 1862. The theatre displays the shape of a horseshoe, 50 boxes distributed on 3 rows, a gallery and an auditorium recently restored and fully decorated with stuccos and gold carvings. The vault, wholly decorated by Alcide Allevi, displays Apollo and the muses besides eight medallions portraying the most eminent opera and prose authors. The whole room is dominated by an artistic crystal chandelier. The worthy stage curtain dating back to 1926, displays the legend of the golden snake, from which the theatre took its name, by Giovanni Battista Magini.
