Digitally acoustic reconstruciton of the Roman theatre of Verona at its orginal shape

The Roman theatre of Verona became a place of live shows during the 1st century BC. After a florid period of its activity, the theatre has been decommissioned by the barbaric invasions other than by earthquakes and fire that occurred during the Middle Age. Many painters and architects tried to sketch and draw the possible shape of the Roman theatre of Verona, by giving personal interpretations, resulting sometimes deviated from the original configuration. During the 20th century the archaeological excavations brought to the discovery of few construction elements that contributed to obtaining a clearer idea of how the theatre should be erected in the missing parts. The acoustics measurements undertaken with the existing conditions have been compared with the acoustic simulations derived from a digital reconstruction of the original volume size.
