Saint Andrew's Chapel
Narthex of the chapel depicting Christ dressed as Roman emperor, standing on a lion and a snake (Psalm 91). His book says EGO SVM VIA VERITAS ET VITA - I am the way, the truth, the life. The top part is original mosaic, the bottom part is just painted! -

The dome is decorated with four angels pointing towards IX, and the four symbols of the evangelists. -
Domus dei Tappeti di Pietra
