Anfiteatro Correa, Bullfighting amphitheater in Rome, Italy
The Anfiteatro Correa occupied the area around the Mausoleum of Augustus, featuring a circular arena constructed with wooden scaffolding for performances.
Portuguese Marquis Vincenzo Mani Correa established this entertainment venue in 1780, which operated until its demolition under Mussolini's regime in 1936.
The venue transformed from hosting animal shows and circus acts to becoming a distinguished concert hall for the Accademia di Santa Cecilia performances.
The amphitheater accommodated between one thousand and three thousand spectators, with a velarium installed in 1826 to protect audiences from weather conditions.
In 1788, the amphitheater witnessed Rome's first balloon flight when Carlo Lucangeli piloted Vincenzo Lunardi's aerial vehicle for fifteen minutes.
