THE SEATS RENT AT THE THEATER Instead of the tickets, we see the tickets provider offering a set of keys of the lobby in the Theatre or Opera House. We don't know if the couple in the picture is married. They probably are, but maybe not with each other...       "In piazza de S.Marco semo avvezzi fitar palchi ogni sera in sie teatri D'Opera, e de Comedia a varij prezzi." ("In San Marco Square we are used to rent a gallery every night in its  Opera and Comedy theaters, at different prices")

Gaetano Zompini: "Fitta Palchi" - (1785)
