Frescos. Santa Fiora, Tuscany

Frescos along the top of a wall of the administration building in Santa Fiora, Grosseto, Tuscany. The main subject is a rich allegory of the hours of the day and night, represented in the form of angels around the solar and lunar carts; a cycle of frescoes commissioned by the earl and duke Alessandro Sforza to Cavalier D'Arpino (a prominent artist of the papal court in Rome) around 1612. The baroque paintings cover a previous Renaissance decoration dating to the second half of 16th c. and commissioned probably by the duke Mario I and his wife Fulvia Conti di Segni (the coat of arms of the latter is visible in one of the corner of the room). The earlier cycle is partly visible below the Baroque paintings. [source: C. Benocci, 2016; with corrections by M. Nucciotti] Model was created in Reality Capture using 248 photographs. The Mt.
