    Caso curioso, ho appena messo le foto di S. Caterina di Lucca restaurata! Anche questa livornese ha una bella cupola, ma intera...ciao, Arianna

    That's just amazing. I try to imagine how the artists accomplished such a feat and I can't.

    Beautiful. I usually take a photo like this when I visit a church or cathedral with an ornate ceiling.
