Constructed in 1979, by Aldo Rossi, Teatro del Mondo sits on the waters of Venice, Italy. This theater was built for entertaining the masses in Italy and stands to be one of the most modern temporary theaters in Italy. This theater is considered temporary because it sits on a barge and is easy to move from place to place.

Like most of his work, he took into consideraton the surrounding buildings and then designed the theater based on the how it would best fit into the landscape. While respecting the buildings already built, Rossi designed Teatro Del Mondo to be a three part theater with a central stage on the ground floor, seating above the central stage, and then the roof made from zinc. The frame of the building is made out of steel and wood, so it is a stable structure, however easy to take down when the time came. The roof reflects the similarity to the surrounding buildings being a “castle like structure.”
