History
The most widely admired Bibiena theatre was probably the Teatro Filarmonico at Verona, built by Francesco Bibiena, and famous for its projecting boxes. The Filarmonico became something of a model to the Neoclassical generation. Francesco Milizia praised it in 1771 as being 'one of the best conceived theatres in Italy'. It had a fine staircase with four landings, and Milizia especially approved of the stalls entrance being placed next to the orchestra, 'as in the ancient Greek and Roman theatres, not exactly opposite the stage, since this point is the best for seeing and ought never to have been wasted on a doorway.'
