The book describes the reconstruction of the Teatro La Fenice, and especially all that is no longer visible with work completed. This entailed seven and a half years of work, three contracts and four different companies taking control of the situation. The editor, Leonardo Ciacci, collected all their accounts and produced a long report that goes beyond a simple technical-planning summary. Not only are all the construction stages described, so are the problems that plagued those working on site. What did the slogan 'as it was, where it was' mean to the designer? What did converting a wooden theatre into a concrete one involve for the director of works? What implications did organising a 'modern' building site in an 'antique' city have for the site director? What practical operational features were envisaged for the new Fenice by the theatre manager? Finally, what and how many building sites were set up inside and outside the main site due to the proximity of operations imposed by completion times? A rich, new photographic study, La Fenice Reconstructed documents the initial conditions of the wrecked building, the construction stages of the new building, reconstruction of the technical installations (acoustics, stage, stage equipment, plant), the conditions governing the organisation of the site and the new theatre as it is presented to the city. It is a historic reconstruction that will be impossible to ignore.
