Together with the two rooms which, respectively, precede and follow it and with the terrace standing in front, the room was built within the sphere of the late nineteenth-century renovation as indispensable connection among the ancient buildings of via San Mammaso (XVc), of via S. Egidio (XVIc.) and Cortalta (XVIIc) and the two wings outstretched towards via Garibaldi.

The big majolica fireplace was moved here and reassembled from villa Pullè of Chievo, which belonged to the Miniscalchi-Erizzo family up to 1919. The typology of the fireplace is typically Trentine: the majolica panels are of Faience manufacture.
The two consoles simmetrically arranged to the sides of the entrance are patterns of the cabinet-making virtuosity of the Venetian Baroque, which had its major representative in Andrea Brustolon (1662-1732).

The room houses some important pieces of furniture ( to be dated between the end of the XVI and the half of the XVIIIc.) among which we point out a beautiful pattern of walnut chest of drawers of the end of the XVIc (Central Italy) with handles engraved like monkey heads and side pilaster strips on which grotesque images are engraved.
