View of the presbytery ceiling

Fresco
Villa Allegri Arvedi, Cuzzano di Grezzana

On the presbytery ceiling in the oratory, one can glimpse the white dove of the Holy Spirit, accompanied by weightless little angels and playful cherubs peeking out amid the soft, impalpable clouds. The pendentives hold monochrome figures of the Four Evangelists.
