Along the sides of the ceiling a large balcony, where Oriental rugs are hanging out, is painted. There is a gallery of characters, many of them have musical instruments. They leanfrom the balcony and show the observers their love for arts, music and poetry. The ceiling is almost a showcase of the aristocracy of the time with portraits of rare elegance.  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.
