Largo di Torre Argentina
-
The important ruins of four Republican temples (one dating back to the 4th century BC) were uncovered here in 1925. On the northwest side is the pleasing façade of the 18th-century Teatro Argentina, with its inscription to the Muses. Many operas received their debuts here in the 19th century, including Rossini’s Barber of Seville . It was a crashing flop on its first night, but only because his enemy, Pauline Bonaparte, had paid a gaggle of hecklers.
