Insider Tips
Enter the church through the side door on Campazzo San Sebastiano, as it's the only entrance and will avoid confusion for visitors. Most people typically glance at the ceiling for around five minutes before leaving, however, bringing binoculars or using your phone camera's zoom feature can allow you to appreciate the facial expressions and details on the ceiling panels.
Begin with the altar area, then move backward toward the entrance while studying the ceiling. This is the order in which Veronese intended the artwork to be viewed, and it will help you appreciate the story more.
