On my picture you may see some of the giant frescos, shown in the Camposanto.
During WW II, when the museum decided to take away the frescos and take them to a safe place, they also found the original sketches of these fresos behind them.
After the war they made a seperate museum, opposite the Duomo, where these Sinopie are shown today.

These sketches are important for such large frescos, as the painter has just a very short time for the painting , as long as the fresh (fresco) wall is not dry yet.

Directions: This fresco is shown in the Camposanto
