The aim of the work is to show a full design development to optimize the acoustic performances of the new Cucinelli’s Theatre, by using simulation softwares and instrumental measurement sessions. Solomeo is a small medieval village near Perugia, where Mr. Brunello Cucinelli decided to build a new classic theatre: the architectural design is inspired by the Italian Renaissance theatre of Vincenzo Scamozzi in Sabbioneta. Building works started in 2007 and the acoustic study began during 2008, with a preliminary measurement session of the main room acoustic indexes such as Reverberation Time, Clarity and Definition Indexes, Speech Transmission Index in 57 positions. Different measurement sessions were carried out during the theatre’s realization, accompanied by simulation sessions which allowed to choose right materials and furniture, in order to obtain a very good acoustic quality. A final measurement session was carried out before the opening ceremony, in order to control the acoustical parameters and to check the shifting between output simulation data and instrumental data. Software output gave a little over-evaluation of some indexes if compared to the real ones, nevertheless the theatre’s acoustic performances are very good.

Abstract
The aim of the work is to show a full design development to optimize the acoustic performances of the new Cucinelli’s Theatre, by using simulation softwares and instrumental measurement sessions. Solomeo is a small medieval village near Perugia, where Mr. Brunello Cucinelli decided to build a new classic theatre: the architectural design is inspired by the Italian Renaissance theatre of Vincenzo Scamozzi in Sabbioneta. Building works started in 2007 and the acoustic study began during 2008, with a preliminary measurement session of the main room acoustic indexes such as Reverberation Time, Clarity and Definition Indexes, Speech Transmission Index in 57 positions. Different measurement sessions were carried out during the theatre’s realization, accompanied by simulation sessions which allowed to choose right materials and furniture, in order to obtain a very good acoustic quality. A final measurement session was carried out before the opening ceremony, in order to control the acoustical parameters and to check the shifting between output simulation data and instrumental data. Software output gave a little over-evaluation of some indexes if compared to the real ones, nevertheless the theatre’s acoustic performances are very good.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
