To the Buontalenti the realization of the mediceo theatre is always up: a space encircled from gradinate with in means the theater box of the principles. In the course of the centuries the theatre has been subdivided in two plans: in the first hour the Cabinet has center Designs and Press, in the second some know them of the Gallery. Of the true theatre and just the Vestibolo remains only, where on the left it is what a time was the portale of income to the theatre, today income of the Cabinet Designs and Press and forehead the three doors of the Ricetto, on qushe centers them, with the ante lignee carved with dicei coats of armsme, is the busto of Francisco I."
