Subjected to a radical restoration in 1983, the room is the most beautiful of the museum course, rich as it is in architectural and pictorial suggestions.

In it five important majolica storied plates are housed, among which it stands out for its uniqueness the one which belonged to Isabella d'Este Gonzaga, painted by Nicola from Urbino (1519 about).
On the western wall there are the stroke engraving painted in water-colours, representing the facade of the Miniscalchi palace carried out in 1864 by the painter Pietro Nanin (1808-1889), followed by a big portrait in 1694 by Sebastiano Bombelli (1635-1716), which represents, in solemn attitude, Nicolò I Erizzo with his five children.

It is important, then, to point out the splendid pattern of portable cabinet decorated in continuous inlay with landscapes, ruins and musical instruments (second half of the XVIIIc.).
It is exquisite the miniature on parchment representing the Virgin Mary with the Infant Jesus, Saint John and Saint Anne, painted about 1540 by Giulio Clovio (1498-1578).
