Is there a case for fictional characters on the ceiling? Could there be a case for say God, the Devil, Zeus, or other more recent invented figures such as Dracula, Doctor Frankenstein, James Bond or Father Christmas, as you can see Homer Simpson has already made it onto the list of the nominated.
THE CEILING 50:This blog has been set up to publish and ask for suggestions for a list of 50 individuals from history who have had a significant impact on civilization. The 50 characters, when the list is finalized, will be elevated - literally - on to the ceiling of a large room of an Italian villa, Casa Bella Fonte in a town called Montalto della Marche. The project is to design and paint an "Atheists Sistine Chapel Ceiling".
