plaques in Florence

A plaque on the facade commemorates modern theatre producer, writer and designer Edward Gordon Craig (1872 –1966), son of actor Dame Ellen Terry who in 1913 founded a school of modern theatrical design here called the Arena Goldoni in Florence.

It's gone through many changes over the years; it’s currently used as the women’s theatre, the Teatro delle Donne with a full range of performances.
