there are the matroneis. The ceilings are decorated with
mosaics on gold bottom that date back partly to the
twelfth-thirtieth century, partly to a following epoch
and they narrate, following a precise sketch, the
Exaltation of the church of Christ, the Venetian Church
and St. Mark. The domes decorated with mosaic constitute
the greatest beauty of the inside. They dates back to the
thirtieth century and they narrate the preaching of the
Apostles, the Passion, Christ benedictory with the
Saints. The mosaics of the dome of the presbytery with
images of Christ and the Prophets date back to the end of
the twelfth century; the mosaics between the windows have
been realized before the 1105, the year of the fire. |
