THE FRESCOES BY LAMBERT SUSTRIS in the hall of the all'antica figures and rooms in the Vittorio Olcese's Villa dei Vescovi -- 1542 --.

Speranza

The villa dominates the surrounding countryside from a hill at the foot of the Mount SOLONA. The planning of the villa was due to ALVISE CORNARO, administrator of BISHOP Francesco PISANI.

The frescoes include:

1. ROMAN EMPEROR
2. ROMAN NOBLEWOMAN
3. ANOTHER ROMAN EMPEROR
4. FEMALE NUDE SLEEPING IN A LANDSCAPE
5. RETURNING FISHERMEN
6. SPOILS OF WAR: VASES
7. SPOILS OF WAR: ARMS

Restoration of these frescoes was carried out by GLAUCO BENITO TIOZZO in 1960 for the villa's owner, VITTORIO OLCESE.
