The Teatro Comunale di Firenze, once home to the prestigious "Maggio Musicale Fiorentino", is being in part demolished and in part restored, to be turned into a mostly residential aerea. In this photo, what was once the elegant foyer, with the stairs leading to the balcony, now lit by flood lights and with a wheelbarrow parked in the shadows. In the pip, not far from the old Teatro Comunale, one of the protruding volumes of the new "Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino", built in contemporary style, catches the golden light of the setting sun. I am told the inside of the new theatre is magnificent, but the outside, in my view, is bulky and lifeless and only rescued, somewhat, in this image by the sun's golden light.
