Ferrara, Palazzo Costabili o Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro (oggi sede del Museo Archeologico Nazionale o di Spina), Aula Costabiliana o Sala del Tesoro, volta: affreschi cinquecenteschi di Benvenuto Tisi, detto il Garofalo. Lungo i lati del soffitto un ampia balconata da cui pendono tappeti orientali: una galleria di personaggi, molti dei quali con strumenti musicali, affacciati in maniera disinvolta a testimoniare con garbo e misura il loro amore per l arte, la musica e la poesia. In una suggestiva scenografia, oltre la balconata si apre un cielo turchino, su cui e strutturato un gazebo con rami carichi di frutta e tralci sospesi, annodati alla balaustra. La sala e un hortus conclusus, un giardino segreto voluto dal padrone di casa per i suoi importanti ospiti. Al centro dell apertura illusionistica sono un fastoso rosone in legno intagliato e dorato e una finta architettura che funge da copertura e al tempo stesso da decorazione. Tutt intorno corre un fregio a grottesche entro cui compaiono medaglioni con scene mitologiche e storie dell antica Roma.); Ghigo Roli; Italian, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Vault of the Hall of the Treasure" fresco, created by Italian artist Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo in the 16th century. Located in Palazzo Costabili or Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro in Ferrara, Italy, this stunning artwork adorns the Aula Costabiliana or Hall of the Treasure. The ceiling of this magnificent hall is a true testament to aristocratic elegance and sophistication. Along its sides hangs a large balcony adorned with Oriental rugs, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of opulence and grandeur. The balcony features a gallery of characters, many holding musical instruments, leaning out to express their love for arts, music, and poetry. Above the balcony lies a picturesque turquoise sky with a gazebo embellished with branches laden with fruits delicately knotted around its balustrade. This room serves as an hortus conclusus or secret garden specially designed by the owner to impress notable guests. At the center of this illusionistic opening stands an elaborate carved and gilded wooden rose window alongside an architectural structure that acts as both cover and decoration. Surrounding it is a frieze adorned with grotesque motifs containing medallions depicting mythological scenes and stories from ancient Rome. This print allows viewers to appreciate Garofalo's mastery in capturing not only artistic beauty but also conveying social status through visual storytelling. It offers us a glimpse into Ferrara's rich cultural heritage while showcasing exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
