by croisbeauty
This is definetely an excellent idea, turning old abandoned chapel into the cafe-bar, which is now the most beautiful of a kind in whole of Treviso. The old sacral object have changed its previous assignment, but at the same time it has been preserved for the future times. The cafe-bar, which is situated next to Casa dei Carraresi, is very attractive and excellent place for relaxing after visiting museum.
