The Dome
The drum of the dome has four sides occupied by windows, and the other four sides by large painted panels, painted by Cesare Mariani. The two visible here are The Anunciation and The Disposition. The dome itself, frescoed by Mariani, is in eight sectors, separated by wide ribs with central panels. Each sector has, from top to bottom, a prophet or sibyl, a saint in a tondo and an angel.
