Cagliari

The setting takes up, with an apparently more refined evolution, that of the enormous charm of the Teatro Comunale of Bologna, ''Capriccio'', 1987.And it temporally brings it closer to our days by a century and a half, transposing it from the last decade of the ancien régime to the one preceding the Second World War.The multiple curtains were made up ...

... of Crushed Velvet according to the sketches by Margherita Palli, who used a variant of the Austrian drapery with very pronounced and deliberately irregular vertical folds.The panels of the curtain, four instead of the regulatory two, were gathered towards the sides like those of a Swag curtain with three ropes on sight made of NCS - Decorative cords and one rope placed on the back.The back of the scene ...
... was delimited by a large draped backdrop, made in the same way but with a central Traveler opening.The velvet was decorated with golden NFR - Fringes, NAG - Agremani and NFI - Tassels.The curtains designed for this scenography ...

... as well as of Wiener Sezession inspiration are the framed wings that form the background of this scene, which is bordered at the top by a large valance made with the same velvet of the curtain and the backdrop.Made up with vertical fullness, the valance was raised in several points with the so-called ''a pance'' drapery.
The scenography also included some large movable Flats covered in ASC - Sceno muslin which was painted according to MargheritaPalli's sketches by Rinaldo Rinaldi.
