Studies and research
These are the main research tracks carried on by the Laboratorio Teatrale, coordinated by Sandra Pietrini:

The studies on Shakespearean iconography were launched in 2011 thanks to some local and national funding. This gave rise to the creation of the Arianna database: a digital archive of images and texts freely available online. The project is carried out by the research group of the Laboratorio Teatrale and makes use of the collaboration of some important Italian institutions, such as the Centro di Documentazione sul Melodramma della Fondazione Giorgio Cini, the Teatro Massimo di Palermo and the Biblioteca Federiciana di Fano, which has recently published Sandra Pietrini’s critical edition of an adaptation of the Hamlet for the company of Cesare Rossi. The project also boasts the collaboration of some important foreigner institutions, such as the Centro de estudos de teatro in Lisbon, the TheaterMuseum in Vienna and the Española de Música Library y Teatro Contemporáneos of the Fundación Juan March of Madrid;
