Abstract

The city as a theater. Festivals and processions in Italian cities and courts, between the fourth and sixteenth centuries. On the occasion of the second centenary of the birth of Jacob Burckhardt (Basel 1818-1897). Ephemeral architectures, monuments and cities 'dressed up' as ancient ones, fashionable styles and accessories inspired by an idea of classic that is often quite imaginative, but still lively and colorful. The first scenario of the rebirth of passion for the ancient, as early as the end of the fourteenth century, are the ceremonies and feasts of the liturgical and secular calendar: a vital and original reinvention, hybridized with medieval chivalric heritages. It is precisely in that frame, as an unavoidable chapter of the new genre of civil ritual of the feast, the theater is also reborn. A theater that reinvents ex novo texts, spaces and dramaturgy, but which often wants to be programmatically linked to a revival of ancient theater. In this panorama the case of Venice, but also the relations with the other centers of the Renaissance.
