Religion and art of Rome




Frescoes







Detail of the Ceiling of the San Zeno chapel in Santa Prassede basilica in Rome.


San Paolo in Vincoli (in chains) the basilica houses the relic of the chains that bound Saint Peter while imprisoned in Jerusalem.

San Sebastian

Glass

Glass in a windowpane in Trastevere-Rome, glass at Villa Torlonia-a beautiful house that one does not expect to find in Rome and glass at MNAC-the National Museum of Modern Art in Bucharest-a stolen :-) photo taken when the bartender was not around. Of course there is the glass of Murano that I will soon post and hope you will enjoy.
