The theatrical photographic collection represents over a century of history of ‘Teatro Dante Alighieri’ of Ravenna. The collection consists of 104 portrait photographs, taken between the 1880s and 1984
The images capture renowned artists, singers, actors, actresses, and dancers who performed on the Alighieri stage between the 19th and 20th centuries. Important figures such as Ezio Pinza and Pietro Mascagni left valuable evidence of their time in Ravenna, by embellishing their photographs with handwritten dedications. They offered us a portrait of a culturally vibrant and thriving city.
