THE FRESCOES by Luigi DORIGNY for the ballroom in the PALAZZO ORSETTI (1710)

Speranza

These are beautiful things.

The Palazzo obviously belonged to the ORSETTI family.

It looks out over the SILE RIVER.

The Orsetti family, wealthy Venetian merchants, originally came from BERGAMO.

It later belonged to the DOLFIN family.

Finally, it was oned by the honorable merchant SANTE GIACOMELLI.

The frescoes include

BACCHANAL
A faun squeezes a cluster of grapes to sate BACCO's thirst.
PAN and the hours
