The iconostasis of the Santissima Annunziata (Most Holy Annunciation) church in Via della Madonna. This is not an Orthodox place of worship, but a Greek-Catholic church following the Byzantine Rite.

I wouldn't have known it isn't Orthodox. It's magnificent.

Very ornate and the screened-off chancel/altar area made me think "Orthodox," too.

I always find intriguing the mix of Byzantine Rite + Catholic.
A beautiful iconostasis here.
