When I was in high school, my family’s go-to TV show was NCIS. We’d put it on in the background over dinner, or watch reruns on the USA channel when nothing else good was on TV. By the time I left to go to college, I must have subconsciously taken in hundreds of episodes!
The Teatro Olimpico (Olympic Theatre) in Vicenza, Italy, is widely regarded as the oldest theatre in the world. Its first performance took place roughly 550 years ago, in 1585. Other than its respectable age, the Teatro Olimpico is also one of the most beautiful theatres in Europe and perhaps the world. It was designed by Andrea Palladio, an Italian architect, and a master of Renaissance architecture. Nowadays, the building is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
