## Commentary

View of the presbytery ceiling c. 1719 Fresco Villa Allegri Arvedi, Cuzzano di Grezzana On the presbytery ceiling in the oratory, one can glimpse the white dove of the Holy Spirit, accompanied by weightless little angels and playful cherubs peeking out amid the soft, impalpable clouds.
