Dating back to the 19th-20th century, these frescoes hold immense historical significance as they depict scenes from both religious and secular life during that time period.

At the center of attention is a saintly figure radiating an aura of serenity and devotion. This representation embodies Christian religion and serves as a reminder of faith's enduring power throughout history. The presence of an object resembling a book further emphasizes the importance placed on knowledge and education during this time.

Through his lens, he has captured not only Casanova's remarkable artwork but also its context within First and Second Millennium A. D. , bridging centuries together through visual storytelling.
