It just shouldn't work. The only light comes through that hole in the roof, and that hole in the roof lets in rain. Any architect proposing the design would be deemed insane. Inside though, it's fresh, calm and beautiful.
These days it's a Catholic church and there are some altars and tombs of significance. All I could do however was look up.

Lovely - but what do they do about the rain?
I think there's a clever underfloor drainage system to take the water away. Would love to have been inside when it rained to see the effect. Not complaining about sunny days while on holiday though...

Could you not have improvised - a climbing friend with a bucket of water while you waited beneath?
Good plan! Am on the next plane to Rome to try it out.

Good! I too wish to know about the rain in the room.
Sadly all I can report on today is how things look when it rains in England: grey.
