- Summary:
- The castle at Cataio, about thirty-five miles from Venice, was built between 1570 and 1573. A series of frescoes, painted in 1573, covers the walls of six of its palatial halls. Programmed by Giuseppe Betussi, the forty frescoes depict momentous events in the history of the Obizzi family from 1004 to 1422. This book deals with this topic.
