Abstract:The Roman theatre of Verona has always been subject to great interest under an acoustic perspective due to the continu- ous development of technologies that allow scholars to study monuments with more accuracy. Acoustic measurements have been carried out across the cavea to understand the existing conditions of the Roman theatre, been used for live mu- sical events especially during summer seasons. The archaeological site is bounded to south-west by a road called Rigaste Redentore, which is an important arterial for the vehicular traffic crossing the city centre along the south-north direction. On this basis, the authors propose the installation of an acoustic barrier to protect the artistical performance from the road traffic noise. A deep analysis has been carried out by highlighting any difference in terms of acoustic parameters be- tween the existing conditions, measured on site, and a digitally simulated condition with the insertion of a barrier.
