place where
the accusations were opened, with ceilings of Zelotti,
Veronese and Ponchino, the little Room of the Three
Inquisitors of State, that dealed with the most delicate
business and secret of the state. The Room
of Weapons of the Council of the Ten keeps the armoury of the Doge's
Palace: it was ransacked at the end of the Republic, but
to till today has a great historical importance. The
passage of the Major Council with a typical Venetian
veranda with paintings of Domenico Tintoretto that
narrate the circumstances of the battle of Lepanto, leads
into Room
of the Quarantia that keeps a tabernacle of the ' 400 and in
the Room of the armament, where we can see what has
survived of the fresco with the Heaven, work of Guariento
(1365-1367), going partly burnt during the fire of 1577. |
