The mythological allegories relate to philosophical thought. Beside the comet, the painted motto in the centre of the medallion on the keystone is "specchio son di virtù e guida". The Magi are represented at the top of the side walls in a movement converging to the comet painted on the arch's central medallion.

Above the French doors feature the allegories of the arts: Architecture, Painting, Mathematics and Astronomy.
