In order to make the archway fit with its surroundings, and to prepare visitors to the theatre for the transformation from medieval to classical surroundings, Scamozzi built the archway to be the same size and shape as the "porta reggia" or triumphal arch at the center of the "scaenae frons" or rear wall of the stage.
To je bil znak, da je Scamozzi genij, in da sta oba projekta danes uvrščena med Palladijeva najbolj uspešno izvedena dela.
