The
room opens on the right of the room with the mullioned
windows and it holds a precious collection of small
bronzes and small Renaissance plates. The sculptors
who appear here are among the greatest in the Italian
artistic panorama, from Jacopo Sansovino to Riccio,
from Bellano to Aspetti and Campagna.
In the first room there is a very rare folding trumeau
with drawers and doors decorated with sheets of paper
painted in lean tempera, pattern of the so-called "plain
art", which dates back to the first half of the
XVIIIc. and of Mitteleuropean taste.
Trumeau inlaid and decorated
(Austria, beginning of the XVIIIc.).

In
the caskets some bronze objects of extraordinary interest
are shown, among which we point out: the Moses
by Jacopo Sansovino (1486-1570), coming from the famous
statue by Michelangelo in Saint Peter's church in Vincoli;
the Amphora with griffin-shaped handle, ascribed
to Andrea Briosco called Riccio (1470-1532); the group
Venus and Cupid, ascribed to Tiziano Aspetti
(1565-1607).
Bronze Jug (Andrea Briosco called Riccio).
