Acoustic study of the Roman theatre of Pompeii: Comparison between existing condition and future installation of two parametric acoustic shellsa).

Roman theatres have always been the subject of research that takes into account not only acoustics, but also archaeological and architectural aspects. It is difficult to draw the boundary line between these disciplines since the interrelation between the different types of expertise is necessary to allow a good production of contemporary architecture in a specific context, such as a Roman theatre. This paper deals with the acoustic analysis of three specific scenarios in the context of the Roman theatre of Pompeii.

From discoveries of 1990s measurements to acoustic simulations of three sceneries carried out inside the San Carlo Theatre of Naplesa).
