Audio Preview

The four parts of the world

Now, let’s take a moment to focus on something visually captivating. Standing beneath the grand central dome, look up at the four lunettes formed by the dome’s curvature. Each one holds a fresco representing a different part of the world. Technically, there are five continents—but let’s set that detail aside for now. Can you spot Europa by Angelo Pietrasanta? A woman with a serious expression guarded by a winged figure. Or America by Raffaele Casnedi? A woman standing between a Native American and two African-Americans. Nearby, Asia by Bartolomeo Giuliano lounges on her throne, receiving homage from a figure with Asian characteristics. Finally, Africa by Eleuterio Pagliano is portrayed as an ancient Egyptian woman, with a lion standing behind her. Well, artistic conventions, and architectural limitations led to Oceania being left out—sorry, Oceania!
