In
these room the furniture is centred on the splendid
Verona wardrobe of the late XVIc, decorated with wooden
sculptures in form of masks, festoons along the side-walls
and thirty-one little "monsters" arranged
under the deeply projecting frame.

The
glass cupboards present in the room house little bronzes
of great value: unique is the self-portrait by Giulio
della Torre (1480-1531 about) from Verona, famous as
a medallist and now, thanks to this bust signed, also
as a full relief modeller; the Rampant horse can be
ascribed to a Tuscan artist follower of Leonardo; the
Little bell lacking in handle comes from the Veronese
foundry of the Levi family; the two allegorical figures
of Spring and Summer are by Tiziano Aspetti (1565-1607);
finally, we point out the ink-pot with a Mermaid playing
the trumpet on the lid.
