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: particolare con giovane donna dall abito giallo e fanciullo con arpicordo. 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 captures a moment of elegance and artistry in the Hall of the Treasure at Palazzo Costabili, Ferrara. The detail focuses on a gentlewoman wearing a vibrant yellow dress, exuding grace and sophistication. Beside her stands a child holding a harpsichord, symbolizing the intertwining of music and culture in this opulent setting. The frescoes adorning the vaulted ceiling showcase an array of characters, many with musical instruments, leaning from an expansive balcony adorned with Oriental rugs. They proudly display their love for arts, music, and poetry to all who observe them. The portraits depict rare elegance and serve as a showcase of aristocracy during that era. Above the balcony lies a mesmerizing turquoise sky with branches laden with fruit knotted around the balustrade. This evocative scenography adds depth to the room's ambiance. The Aula Costabiliana or Hall of the Treasure is like an enclosed garden or hortus conclusus designed by its owner to impress important guests. At its center lies an illusionistic wooden rose window intricately carved and gilded, accompanied by faux architecture serving both as cover and decoration. Surrounding it is a frieze adorned with grotesque motifs featuring medallions depicting mythological scenes and stories from ancient Rome. This print transports viewers back in time to experience the grandeur and artistic splendor that once graced Palazzo Costabili's halls—a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage.
