The play entitled <em>Hadrian’s Memoirs: portrait of a voice </em>[2] was based on excerpts from the novel by Marguerite Yourcenar, interpreted by actors Giorgio Albertazzi, Eric Vu An and Maria Carta, and directed by Maurizio Scaparro [3]. Cano’s very intense and meaningful painting of the Maritime Theatre in Hadrian’s Villa is part of his 160 x 100 cm series of watercolours of Greek and Roman theatres and amphitheatres.&nbsp;<br> Although the artist executed this particular painting in 2016, he had already painted the site many years earlier when he created a notebook of paintings of Hadrian’s Villa and a series of twelve aquatints in which he included not only the theatre, but also other architectures in the complex.&nbsp;</p> ER -
