Dome in Michelangelo's original home added by descendants in the 18th century

Yet another town house residence is the Casa Buonarotti, where the great Michelangelo's descendants maintained a home and a collection not only of his works but of other important artists. The third floor consists of the residential area, a series of charming small rooms, decorated in 17th and 18th century style. This charming dome drew my attention as a dome-collector, and the guard was willing to look the other way when I asked to make a picture, as long as I used no flash. It has a delightful Rococo frivolity balanced with a severe geometric container.
