This is an old print showing an old theater’s floor plan. Giacomo Torelli made it, probably between the 1600s and 1800s. The print lives at the Victoria and Albert Museum. You might not know Fano’s Theatre anymore, but the diagram is precise. It shows where the stage, seats, and doors once were. Architects still study this kind of print for clues. Look up Torelli, Giacomo next.
