Sulla forma della platea e del proscenio di un teatro : più propria alla propagazione del suono e sulla materia più atta a rinforzarlo ed a sostenerlo : premesso un esame sulla teoria acustica
An 1840 Italian treatise by Francesco Taccani, published in Milan by Angelo Monti, on theatre architecture and acoustics, written for architects and acousticians studying how theatre floor plans and stage fronts carry sound. The single plate shows numbered technical diagrams: stacked tiers and drums, a ray-tracing layout of sound paths, and a sectional elevation of a curved auditorium with rows of seating.
