The hall

Salottino dei Satiri, Soffitto con figure di satiri, foglie d??edera e lumache

This tiny and extremely richly decorated room is formed from the dome of the octagonal cupola.
Its name comes from the series of miniature stucco satyrs which sit around the edge of the eye opening up into the lantern above.
