Camera Pinta

This room inside the Torre Maestra, which was the studiolo of the castellan, is divided into two by an arch.  It contains a number of important frescoes (ca. 1400) that were uncovered during the recent restoration.  Marino Tomacelli probably commissioned them during his long period as castellan (1392 – 1416).  The room also contains a number of frescoes of the Tomacelli arms.

Frescoes on the Right Wall

Frescoes on the Left Wall

These frescoes, which are not by the artist who painted the opposite wall, seem to belong to a single narrative cycle in which a knight secures the services of Cupid in order to win the heart of a lady.
