There are, then two possibilities within the context of 1 Corinthians 14:45-47:


factus est *primus homo* Adam in animam viventem
novissimus Adam in spiritum vivificantem
sed non prius quod spiritale est sed quod animale est
deinde quod spiritale
*primus homo* de terra terrenus
secundus homo de caelo caelestis
qualis terrenus tales et terreni
et qualis caelestis tales et caelestes

For absolute confirmation, there are two obvious possibilities:
find a tape of a broadcast of this production, and pause as appropriate;
find a book with a detailed description (or photographs) of the church.
I believe this is a Zefirelli production, and everything from this church
through the Palazzo Farnese to the top of Hadrian's tomb looks absolutely
authentic, so I'm inclined to think that every detail will reflect the
locations quite precisely.
