In an evocative scenography, above the balcony, there are a turquoise sky , with a gazebo filled with branches of fruit, knotted around the balustrade. This room is, in fact, a hortus conclusus, a secret garden realised by the owner for his notable guests.At the centre there are a magnificent rose window in carved and gilded wood, and a painted architecture that is used both as a decoration and as a cover. All around runs a frieze that goes all around the room, with grotesque medallions depicting with scenes taken from mythology and stories of ancient Rome.
