This is probably a representation of the side of palazzo Angelo Giovanni Spinola: it is a fresco from the late sixteenth century.

Also from palazzo Angelo Giovanni Spinola. This may well be a view of the back of the palace, with its terrace in the foreground and the courtyard in the middle.

Inside a perfectly pitch-dark room (we couldn't get the lights to work), I used a flash to get random shots of the walls. What I found was a frescoed depiction of the frescoed façade of this very palace.

A tragic episode, by Lazzaro Tavarone.

Classical themes were the order of the day.
