The palace rooms, which were furnished from 1978 onwards with pieces taken from various other historical family homes, contain numerous works of art such as tapestries, furniture and paintings. Amongst the most important rooms are the "Salone di Ricevimento" (Reception Hall), which houses biblical paintings by Stefano Danedi, known as "Il Montalto" (1618-1683), Ercole Procaccini the younger (1596-1676) and Giovan Battista Costa (1636-1690), the "Sala delle Stagioni" (The Seasons Room) with its large tapestry belonging to a Cardinal who was a member of the family, and the "Sala delle Bambole" (The Doll's Room), which contains an important collection of nineteenth century French and German dolls. Also particularly unusual and interesting is the collection of puppets and puppet theatres, which date from the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The palace is surrounded by a beautiful botanical park, which the French writer, Flaubert described as paradise on earth. The park contained, and still contains, many rare and exotic plant species, which originate from every corner of the globe, and you will also find multicoloured peacocks, parrots and pheasants roaming freely amongst them.
