Abstract
After years of music festivals that were held in wonderful places like ancient churches and terraces overlooking the sea, the town of Ravello on the hills of the Amalfi coast was endowed with an auditorium conceived ten years ago by the now 102 years old Maestro Oscar Niemeyer. The Institution which the authors belong to was involved under the responsibility of the second author in the consultancy for the acoustics related to the last design of the magnificent, but debated, masterpiece of the famous architect Niemeyer. At the end of January 2010 the auditorium was opened to public performances so the authors had the opportunity to check the room acoustics behavior of the main hall. This paper reports about architectural features of the auditorium and the results of preliminary acoustic measurements performed in the unoccupied main hall.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
