The frescoed dome

La cupola affrescata

The seventeenth-century dome created by Tommaso Forzazan and decorated by Lorenzo Bedogni houses the spectacular "Rose of the Winds".

An architectural illusion, with Corinthian columns and painted pillars, supports a circular cornice populated by eight heads each bearing the name of a wind.

In the center, a metal arrow connected to an external flag indicates the direction in real time. Everything is enriched by the presence of mythological figures – Jupiter, Juno, Aurora and Astraeus – who evoke the cyclical nature of life and the harmony between art, nature and sky.
