Aperitifs On The Balcony

Aperitifs On The Balcony

The Sferisterio of Macerata stands out as one of the most prominent architectural structures of the late European Neoclassical Style.
In the first half of the Nineteenth century, a few wealthy gentlemen living in Macerata decided to enrich their city with a permanent structure used to host the game with ball and bangle and, at the same time, as an arena for the ‘steccato’ and for bull fighting, which was very popular at the time of the Papal State. Construction began on 2 October, 1820, according to the drawings provided by Salvatore Innocenzi.
