Parma, wonderful city to visit even in winter, treasures the ceiling frescoed by Correggio in 1519 in the monastery of San Paolo. An “umbrella volt” subdivided in 16 wedges. Exploring and walking through the city, a similar sight was revealed to us when we looked up at the dome of the baptistery built in the thirteen century: once again an “umbrella” structure subdivided in 16 wedges. Every wedge is marked by ribs and ends with a lunette. Could it be that Correggio got the inspiration from this monument, considered one of the most important of the Middle Ages in Europe? Here the answer: the painter received the task of decorating a preexisting umbrella structure of the late Gothic.
