"Prospettiva: A Journey Through Frescoes and Stories" Step into the world of frescoes and let your imagination soar with "Prospettiva. " This captivating collection of artworks takes you on a visual voyage through time, revealing intricate details and enchanting narratives. In the first room of Palazzina, we witness a moment from Homer's Iliad. Athena gracefully intervenes, preventing Achilles from unsheathing his sword against Agamemnon. The tension is palpable as these legendary figures clash in their pursuit of glory. Moving to the third room, we find ourselves immersed in Virgil's Aeneid. Venus, appearing as a huntress, commands her son Aeneas and his companion Achates to embark on a fateful journey to meet Queen Dido. The sandy shores of Libya provide the backdrop for this pivotal encounter. The Assumption of Mary comes alive in vibrant hues within another frescoed masterpiece. Delicate brushstrokes capture angels surrounding Mary as she ascends to heaven. An angelic detail draws our attention towards divine grace and spiritual transcendence. Venturing further into Guest Lodgings, we stumble upon scenes that celebrate rustic life. In one corner, a satyr dances alongside a maenad in joyful abandon - an ode to nature's wild spirit. Nearby, an old peasant woman carefully cradles a basket filled with eggs - symbolizing abundance and sustenance. But it is not all mythological tales and rural charm; putti playfully adorn the walls of another guest room. Three cherubic figures gleefully ride atop a wooden horse - their innocent laughter echoing through time. As our eyes lift upwards towards the painted ceiling vaults at Abbey Santa Giustina's Chapel of Blessed Sacrament, awe washes over us like holy light pouring down from above. Intricate patterns intertwine with celestial motifs, creating an ethereal atmosphere that invites contemplation and reverence.
