Farnese Theater

About

As the wind flowing through Parma's old streets seeps between the concrete and stone walls, a building bearing the traces of an ancient theater comes into view. The wooden ceiling beams cut through the light, slowly guiding visitors' footsteps. Palladio's design remains here, and Scamozzi's touch still lingers in the air. The theater's stage still holds stories within the darkness, and visitors feel as though they are standing on the stage of an ancient drama. It is a space where time seems to have stopped, as if the lines of Oedipus Rex still remain in the air.
