A triad from Comoedia Tiburtina -
Let's hypothesize the Delizia of Ippolito d Este in Purgatory. To be a place of private escape from the papal court and an elegant hallway for a personal revenge. Where water marries air and sculpted nature. Domesticated water, never more than gushing.

Then at Paradiso, we could approach the Platea Adriana. Horizontal theater of solids and voids, which, for its vastness of openness and symbolic solidity, alludes to the Infinite. While knowing the earth.
Here the water is calm energy. Here monovalent meanings remain, a representation of certainties, reassuring stability. Here still hangs a caesar to honor.
