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 fiori. 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 stunning detail from the Aula Costabiliana, also known as the Hall of the Treasure, located in Palazzo Costabili or Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro in Ferrara, Italy. Painted by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo during the 16th century, this fresco showcases a gentlewoman wearing a vibrant yellow dress adorned with flowers. The vaulted ceiling of this magnificent hall is truly a sight to behold. Along its sides hangs an expansive balcony displaying oriental rugs, adding an exotic touch to the scene. The balcony is filled with various characters, many of whom are holding musical instruments and leaning over to display their love for arts, music, and poetry. Above the balcony lies a turquoise sky embellished with a gazebo covered in branches laden with fruit that are delicately knotted around the balustrade. This room serves as an hortus conclusus or secret garden created by its owner to impress important guests. At the center of this illusionistic opening stands an opulent carved and gilded wooden rose window along with architectural elements that serve both as coverings and decorations. Surrounding it is a frieze adorned with grotesque motifs featuring medallions depicting mythological scenes and stories from ancient Rome. This print allows us to appreciate not only Garofalo's artistic skill but also provides insight into the aristocratic lifestyle of that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into an enchanting world where elegance meets creativity within one remarkable space.
