Teatro Ruzante, Former theater and university building in Padua, Italy
Located on Riviera Tito Livio, Teatro Ruzante exhibits Gothic architecture with a single nave, medieval portico, and an asymmetrical facade with a left-positioned arch.
The structure, built between the 12th and 13th centuries, functioned as the Church of San Giorgio until 1808, when Napoleonic ecclesiastical laws led to its closure.
The theater bears the name of Angelo Beolco, a dramatist who influenced the development of character types in Italian theatrical traditions.
The University of Padua renovated the building in 2005, creating a performance space with 236 seats and a stage equipped with cinema projection capabilities.
During renovations, Gothic frescoes and original capitals with cross vaults were uncovered, with the vaults being recreated using modern materials.
