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.
