A high viewpoint with several views combined make this a comprehensive panorama that would be impossible from a single vantage point. The 15-day Festa della Sensa, celebrating the Feast of the Ascension, is shown, with traders and many figures in carnival dress. Street players perform masques (mommarie), and mountebanks give performances or advertise their wares.
