About
Why this artist matters now
Vincenzo Re (1695–1762) was an Italian scenic designer. Born in Parma, Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, Re began his career in Turin. In 1737 he became the assistant designer under Pietro Righini at the newly formed Teatro di San Carlo, ultimately replacing him as head designer in 1740. He remained at that post until his death 22 years later in 1762. During his years there, he designed and built sets for well over 100 stage works, including operas, plays, and ballets. Many of his set designs required him to invent new forms of theatrical machinery. He also occasionally served as director for some of the productions.
