Duomo di Siena Libreria Piccolomini La volta è composta da un lungo rettangolo centrale retto da spicchi (o vele) e pennacchi di volte a crociera dimezzate, che architettonicamente si definisce volta unghiata. La decorazione si ispira alle volte quadrate della Domus Aurea, riscoperte proprio in quegli anni e oggetto di frequentissima emulazione tra gli artisti della generazione, ma traspone il modello su una tipologia architettonica medievale, con le crociere. Il lati lunghi hanno quattro vele a sfondo oro-giallo e tre pennacchi a sfondo blu, mentre i lati brevi presentano un pennacchio giallo e due vele rosse. Gli sgargianti colori sono poi coperti da fitte grottesche all'antica Il rettangolo centrale è suddiviso in fregi e scomparti geometrici, ispirati alla Volta Dorata e alla Volta degli Stucchi della reggia neroniana, con al centro lo stemma Piccolomini entro una ghirlanda. Negli scomparti, attribuiti nell'esecuzione pittorica a Girolamo del Pacchia, si trovano le Virtù e miti pagani ispirati a rilievi sui sarcofagi. Per quattro delle Virtù si è anche proposto il nome del miniatore Littifredi Corbizi, a Siena nel 1494 e forse già a fianco del Pinturicchio nell'Appartamento Borgia

I visited last year and I was enchanted. I also photographed (like you with a K30-)) with the result but not the height of yours. Really good job on your own. Compliments.

Soriana welcome back, it's a bit 'I did not see any of your shooting;-)
I have a couple of pictures made here, I'm sure yours are valid, here I took with the 10mm, as you know, the environment is small, perhaps that's why you did not stay satisfied.
Thank you, hello claudio

Thanks Lully, shooting can be improved, but unfortunately the center of the room is not navigable and therefore is a bit 'decentralized-)
It was a pleasure to hear hello Claudio:-P
