| Looking from the Piazza Esedra (Piazza della Repubblica) with your back facing the fountain, the right hand door depicts the joyful mystery of the Annunciation where the Angel on high can be seen speaking with the Virgin Mary. The extensive background portrays the vast open space of the world. Land and sea are depicted by velvety smooth fields and undulating waters. This represents the transformation of the world during benevolent times. The arched window displays several scattered figures in a simple way which highlighst the presence of the Angels. They appear only as heads, sometimes covered and as a young headless female form. The bottom of the door bears the following inscription: ECCE ANCILLA DOMINI FIAT MIHI SECUNDUM VERBUM TUUM (I am the handmaid of the Lord, let what you have said be done to me). |
