The Cathedral of Siena , whose mass rises in the homonymous square, is one of the most famous examples of Italian Romanesque-Gothic cathedral . According to tradition, the current one replaces a first church dedicated to Mary, built around the century. IX, built on the site of a temple offered to Minerva. Also from news without precise documentation, we learn that the building was consecrated in 1179, in the presence of the Sienese pope Alexander III Bandinelli, after the peace with Barbarossa . de Works Sancte Marie . It is probably a first mention of Nicola Pisano, one of the most innovative artists of the thirteenth century, to whom we owe the famous pulpit, now located in the left transept of the Cathedral. His son Giovanni, magister of the Opera in the years between 1284 and 1297, will be the key figure in the construction of the lower part of the facade. Giovanni Pisano also owns the sculptures of prophets, sibyls and philosophers that once decorated the facade and are now housed in the Museo dell'Opera (replaced by copies during the 19th and 20th centuries).
In late 1262 the acquisition of a domus is documented , destined to house the headquarters of the Opera and the workshop of the masters, where the marbles used in the construction of the Cathedral are worked. During 1263 lead was purchased for the cover of the dome and copper for the apple that crowned it. The dome is therefore finished on this date (the lantern is a total remake in the style of 1667).

Teatro di San Carlo (Theatre of Saint Charles), as originally named by the Bourbon monarchy but today known simply as the Teatro di San Carlo, is an opera house in Naples, Italy, connected to the Royal Palace and adjacent to the Piazza del Plebiscito. It is the oldest continuously active venue for opera in the world, having opened in 1737, decades before either Milan's La Scala or Venice's La Fenice.
The opera season runs from late November to July, with the ballet season taking place from December to early June. The house once had a seating capacity of 3,285, but has now been reduced to 1,386 seats.[3] Given its size, structure and antiquity, it was the model for theatres that were later built in Europe.
