The high ceiling built from terracotta and wood, has been utilised by creating a wooden mezzanine furnished with a Roman "chaise long", a writing desk and chair, where you can sit back, relax and read a novel that you have kept for the occasion or simply enjoy the Tuscan decoration and centennial masonry work done by past monks who created Sant' Antonio. The wooden mezzanine looks down into the living room.
