Many people come here to visit the famous mosaics by Tommaso da Modena (1326 – 1379), commissioned in 1352 and depicting 40 great Dominican scholars, including St Thomas Aquinas, St Albert the Great, several Dominican Popes, Cardinals Annibaldi, Hugh Aycelin, Latino Malabranca Orsini, and Cardinal Hugh of Saint-Cher – his portrait is apparently the earliest known fresco of somebody wearing glasses! Unfortunately many were hidden by renovation work when I visited but they are absolutely beautiful and very well worth the visit. You will find them in the Chapter Room and entry is free! However another famous person who graced this seminary is Pope Saint Pius X, who (prior to becoming Pope) was spiritual director of Treviso Seminary! You will find a plaque and a bust of him in the main entrance hall and also his name is listed on board of principal benefactors of the seminary. The cloister is also very beautiful and well worth a quiet stroll.
