Cappella Cerasi
Architecturally, the chapel is an oblong recess consisting of a cross-vaulted anteroom with the tombs of the Cerasi on the lateral walls; and a narrower, barrel-vaulted chancel where the altar stands under a dim lunette light. The whole is rich in gilt stucco and half-faded frescoes, but remarkable chiefly for being the darkest chapel in the church.
