The management of the vault in the tomb of Can Signorio is No 6. Verona. Scala Monuments. 27
strange [diagram] it is flat domical; perfectly flat
done at the top, with a circle Fig 3. Section of mouldings as they fall on the hexagonal
in the centre, rudely cut, with a abacus head of one of the six main twisted shafts of the
lamb and flag: a b is the upper story of the tomb of Can Signorio. Its measures
vaulting rib at the top: from the ceiling: but only d e at the are; a b, 6 in; b c, (the intermediate points inaccessible)
bottom: the additional member c stealing out as it rises. Probably 3 in; c-d, 4: notethat the line did not bend in
this is owing to the plaster filling. coming tight from c to d: so the line d d2 must be wrong
d-e is right, at rt angles to the line the rough middle of
hexagon: it is the foliation moulding (i e d3-h2) and it
is curious that it falls altogether outside of the point n.
of the hexagon: so that the line n n2, would entirely miss it.
c c2 is the flower moulding following the large arch: I think
the part at c looks clumsy & projects too much: (I see my
error now: I have drawn the series of lines parallel with
d d2, as if they were parallel with the side of hexagon:
whereas they ought to be at the hexagon angle on the line
h2 i, and ought to point to n3 as h2 i points to m:
which it did exactly) with this alteration, and taking the
following and preceding measures, it will be right. d-e 1¼ in; e-h ¾.
h2 i, 4¼ i-k ½ or ¾: k-l (round) 4½ l-m, ¾ or 1.
finally n to the level h2 i, in direction n n2 marked by dotted
line, 3¾. From n to the opposite corresponding point
of the next shaft is 3 ft 8: the enclosing arch springing from
the point h2, we have to add 3¾ at each side, giving 4 ft 3½ for
