Physical description

A small plain brick box standing alone in a garden beside the Eremitani museums — no façade to speak of, a few narrow windows down one side. The inside is the opposite: a single barrel-vaulted room whose every surface, walls and ceiling together, is painted in continuous bands of blue and figures, with no architectural break anywhere between floor and vault.
