Designs for the Bono-Gerliczi and Nobile Theatres − the Oldest Theatre Plans in Rijeka
Nana Palinić
Abstract
The article reveals designs for the two theatres in Rijeka, namely, the Bono-Gerliczi and Nobile Theatres found in the archival fonds of Rijeka Municipality at the State Archives in Rijeka. Although research done so far showed the Bono-Gerliczi theatre was considered architecturally and theatrically uninteresting predecessor of Adamiæ’s theatre, the building is significant for both architecture and history of the city and Croatia in general. This first purpose-built theatre in Croatia in the post-antiquity period is a typical Baroque building. Up to now there has been no knowledge of another planned Baroque theatre building in Rijeka, namely, the Nobile theatre. Its plans and documentation have recently been discovered.
