Teatro Quattro Fontane

Roma, Italy

The Teatro delle Quattro Fontane ('Theatre of the Four Fountains'), also known as the Teatro Barberini, was an opera theatre in Rome, Italy, designed (in part) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and built in 1632 by the Barberini family. From 1632 to 1637 it was located in a large room inside the Palazzo Barbe

rini at the Quattro Fontane. In 1639, it was moved to a new, free-standing building, northeast of the palace and adjacent to the garden. By 1830, the theatre had closed, and the building was used for other purposes. It was demolished in 1932.
