The hidden subtext for using a Venetian term is that this depicts a scene from the small town of Arezzo. Therefore, the piece is based on a principle of “this is not as it appears.” To this concept, it should become apparent to the viewer that they move from the all consuming, sinister darkness towards the welcoming light.
