context: The Pergola, Florence Theatre is still basically intact, complete with its equipment for raising the floor to serve as a ballroom and it is the first to be built with superposed tiers of boxes rather than raked semi-circular seating in the Roman fashion. It is considered to be the oldest in Italy, having occupied the same site for more than 350 years.

Note: Antichissimo teatro storico, e- retto nel quinquennio 1652-56 dal- 1; architetto Ferdinando Tacca e completamente ricostruito nel 1755 dall’architetto Giulio Mannaioni. Ha subito successivi restauri nel 1856 e in epoca più recente che ne hanno modificato notevolmente lo aspetto originario. Un ultimo generale restauro è stato pertanto a termine dall’archi­tetto Luigi Caliterna dopo l’allu­vione del novembre 1966. @it
