MUNICIPAL THEATRE OF PIACENZA
A splendid example of late 18th-century architecture, Piacenza’s Municipal Theater was inaugurated on September 10, 1804, with Zamori, or Hero of the Indies, a dramma serio for music by Giovanni Simone Mayr, a Bavarian musician who was Gaetano Donizetti’s teacher and who lived for a long time in Bergamo.
Construction of the theater, designed by Piacenza architect Lotario Tomba (author, among other things, of the Governor’s Palace in Piazza Cavalli) began in September 1803 and was completed the following year.
Piacenza was the first city in Emilia to have a new, modernly conceived, capacious and, above all, beautiful theater; Parma would have it in 1829, Modena in 1838, Reggio Emilia in 1857.
