OUT OF PRINT: The ancient theatre remains are under medieval and modern buildings. You have to go inside the hall of the nearby flats to see some walling and parts of the aditus maximi. When I was trying to see something in my private investigation, one man invites me to go into his home, I hardly understood his Italian; he took me to his sitting room and showed me some stone walls from the roman theatre that were the walls of his home, he took me to another part of the house, and i never thought I was going to see what I did... in another room, behind a door, the man took away some books and filing, and suddenly appeared... there was some stone steps of the theatre... can you imagine it, rows of seats from a roman theatre inside your home?
