Il contributo descrive l'opera del 1989 dell’artista spagnolo Pedro Cano che ha realizzato a Villa Adriana a Tivoli un importante lavoro di impianto scenico e costumi per lo spettacolo dal titolo Le Memorie di Adriano: ritratto di una voce, frammenti dal romanzo di Marguerite Yourcenar [Yourcenar 1951], con Giorgio Albertazzi, Eric Vu An, Maria Carta, sotto la direzione del regista Maurizio Scaparro. Il disegno del Teatro Marittimo di Villa Adriana che si presenta è un elaborato molto intenso e ricco di significato che fa parte di una serie di acquarelli su teatri e an teatri greci e romani di dimensioni 160 x 100 cm.

The Maritime Theatre is one of the iconic buildings of Hadrian’s Villa, Tivoli. The state of conservation of the theatre is not only the result of weathering over time, but also due to restoration work carried out during the Fifties of the past century. Although this anastylosis process had the virtue of partially restoring a few of the fragments of the compound’s original image, it now reveals diverse inconsistencies and genuine errors in the reassembling of the fragments. This study aims at carrying out a digital reinterpretation of the restoration of the architectural fragments in relation to the architectural order, with particular reference to the miscellaneous decoration of the frieze of the <i>Teatro Marittimo</i> (vestibule and <i>atrium</i>). <br><br> Over the course of the last few years the <i>Teatro Marittimo</i> has been the target of numerous surveying campaigns using digital methodology (laser scanner and photogrammetry ...

The Maritime Theatre is one of the iconic buildings of Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli. The state of conservation of the theatre is not only the result of weathering over time, but also due to restoration work carried out during the Fifties of the past century. Although this anastylosis process had the virtue of partially restoring a few of the fragments of the compound's original image, it now reveals diverse inconsistencies and genuine errors in the reassembling of the fragments. This study aims at carrying out a digital reinterpretation of the restoration of the architectural fragments in relation to the architectural order, with particular reference to the miscellaneous decoration of the frieze of the Teatro Marittimo (vestibule and atrium). Over the course of the last few years the Teatro Marittimo has been the target of numerous surveying campaigns using digital methodology (laser scanner and photogrammetry SfM/MVS). Starting with the study of the remains of the opus caementicium on the ground, it is possible to identify surfaces which are then used in the model for subsequent cross sections, so as to achieve the best fitting circumferences to use as reference points to put the fragments back into place.
