| dc.description | Overall view, across Piazza della Scala; Between 1776 and 1778 Piermarini constructed his best-known work, the Teatro della Scala in Milan, built for a group of theatre box-holders that included almost all the nobles of the city. The auditorium follows the lines of the traditional Italian opera house of the 18th century. Six tiers of private boxes arranged on a horseshoe plan encompass an open pit, and they are joined to the proscenium arch by giant Corinthian columns framing stage boxes. A covered portico is the most prominent element on an otherwise understated façade. The central bays are accentuated with a series of attached Corinthian columns, and a triangular pediment above the attic storey frames a low relief of the Chariot of Apollo by Giuseppe Franchi.
