His inscription on this drawing mentions that it represents one wall of the chapel of Saint Ferma, “as it should be adorned at present,” clarifying that this design was intended for a specific project, which might not have been executed. The high degree of finish, the inclusion of human figures for scale, and the illusionistic scroll all suggest that the drawing was made for presentation to a patron. Ferma is the patron saint of Civitavecchia, a port city near Rome, where Marchionni became the supervising architect in 1752. Among the miracles attributed to Ferma is the calming of a violent storm at sea, which is most likely the scene depicted in the oval surmounting the door.
