"Glorification of the Soderini family" (c. 1754), by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. It was the ceiling fresco in the main hall of the Villa Soderini, near Nervesa, and it was destroyed along with other frescoes during World War I, in combat between Italian and Austrian troops (June 15-19, 1918).
Description: a swarm of geese triumphantly carries the Soderini family flag. The allegorical figures of Faith, Justice and Truth help and propitiously point to that graceful swarm. It was considered a fresco of extraordinary beauty.
